    Angry Fedora 14, Unable To SSH

    I'm new do Fedora and when ever I install the operating systems I am never able to ssh. Whenever I do something like ssh someaddress , I get this error Could not resolve hostname someaddress: Name or service not known.
    I'm able to do 'host github.com' and do 'ping github.com'
    Both respond as you would expect with the ip.

    Hi. Can you give the exact ssh command you are using? You may want to try to use the exact IP address of the remote device that you are trying to access. Be sure also port number is correct.

    You might want to start the sshd service on the computer you're trying to access. On a new install the service is enabled but not yet running.
    Code:
    su -c 'service sshd start'
    Also make sure that the firewall allows ssh. Then try to ssh into it.
