Guest NightvisioN Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Hi there, I started to use linux for about 8 day's now and finding out more stuff and more and more. But now i am a bit stuck :( This is my problem. 1) I installed the ssh service and offcourse started the service. On my windows computer i installed putty to connect to my linux computer but i can' connect, what happens is putty jumps up stays in my screen for about 4 seconds with the black screen with green cursor and then quit's the entire program. 2) From my windows computer i cannot ping my linux computer, and no i don't have a firewall that is active. Thanks for all your replies. NV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done, welcome to this community. I'm sure you'll love it. 1) I installed the ssh service and offcourse started the service.

Mandrakelinux?? - How did you set the security setting during instalation? Higher than 'standard' ?? - Have you set up networking correctly? can you ping your window$ box from the linux one?

tyme Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 - What distro are u using? Mandrakelinux?? As can be seen in the title, he's running Mandrake 10 ;) I think we need to concern ourselves with the setup of your network. How are these two computers connected together? Router? Switch/Hub? Crossover cable? What are their IP addresses? Most likely the problem with putty is a result of the windows machine not being able to contact the Linux machine. You said you don't have a firewall, but that could mean two things - physical or software? If you meant physical, did you make sure to turn off the firewall that comes with Mandrake?

Allso tryed some iptable tricks a friend of mine gave me but didn't work eighter. To tyme: I have got a built in firewall from my internet router but that one only protecs the internet doesn't effect my local lan. I use these ip's Static ip windows: 192.168.0.117 Dhcp or static linux: 192.168.0.4 Router: 192.168.0.2 Accespoint: 192.168.0.1 Firewall i did check and that was like this: Computer options > firewall > wass put inactive so no firewall is turned on there. Or is ther another firewall i don't know off ? Edited August 10, 2004 by NightvisioN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echylo Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 so you can ping with your linux to windows? but not vice versa? maybe you need to configure samba?(don't know much about networking, still learning alot :P ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feralertx Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 (edited) Hi there! Static ip windows: 192.168.0.117Dhcp or static linux: 192.168.0.4 Router: 192.168.0.2 Accespoint: 192.168.0.1 Some Qs: - Whats an acces point ?? - Can you post the netmask you use for those ips ? Do they all use the same? - Linux can ping windows but windows cannot ping linux, can windows ping the router ? If windows cannot ping the router, try to see if it can ping the address 127.0.0.1, if it cannot, then itll mean the protocol TCP/IP is not correctly installed, so uninstall it and install it again, btw, what windows are u using? And can you post the output of this commands please (from the linux machine): - ifconfig - route I have never had the need to touch the files /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny, do yours content anything else than comments? (Mine are empty apart from a few comments) I think that mandrakes firewall is off by default, but you can check in the Mandrake Control Center. Ah btw, this got nothing to do with samba :P Edited August 11, 2004 by feralertx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MR_BOB Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 OK - I was trying to figure out a similar problem (connecting to my Mandrake 10.2 box with near top security install)...... with that level of security the good folks at Mandrake decided to make your hosts.deny file have the following line: ALL:ALL EXCEPT 127.0.0.1:DENY Not very nice of them if you're trying to connect. I'd advise you to have a firewall, then COMMENT OUT this line (#) - it should resolve the issue for you. MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably you just need a line in /etc/hosts.allow that allows sshd to accept a connection request coming from the IP address of your Win machine.
