SSH getting timed out

[afcbob]

I have just setup a server at my home. I installed Fedora 4 that went ok, The got it's IP number by typing "ifconfig" that give me 192.168.x.x but when ever i put that in to my ssh i get timedout. Am using putty for my ssh.

If you need any more info i will try and get it for you.

Is the SSHD service running? Are you able to telnet to port 22 on the IP address?

I have just setup a server at my home.

Perhaps your ISP is blocking SSH/Telnet...If you use a residential connection package over commercial they may block a lot of things incoming on the "server". I'd check with the ISP.

are you connecting locally at home or remotely from outside into your server at home?

It sounds like sshd isn't started. On your FC4 box, do a 'ps -aux | grep -i sshd' and see if it is running.

That should fix your problem.

try teleneting to computer on port 22, you should get an ssh message, if not then you need to look at the computer and get ssh running first.

It does seem to be a problem with your servers sshd. Are you able to ping yahoo.com or gmail.com from your server?

It is possible that you still don't have the routing working on your server and that can also be a problem faced with servers hosted at home.
