problem with ssh connection

[ojav]

I have HP Mini Laptop with SUSE Enterprise Desktop 10. When I try to make a contact to my Ubuntu Server, I can read from the log of my server, that the password has been accepted and a session has been opened for the MyUserName I wrote on my SUSE terminal:
"ssh -l MyUserName MyURL"

But nothing further happens on the SUSE terminal. Only if I kill the session in my server, I get a message that the connection has been closed by the remote host.
The same thing happens with gFTP (using SSH2): I can tell from my server, that a session has been initiated, but no response comes to gFTP.

I know it is not a problem with the server, because I can make a ssh connection with a windows machine (using Putty).

I'm quite new with my SUSE laptop. Is this something to do with the firewall?

nmap localhost

if yes . disactivates the firewall /etc/init.d/iptables stop

and setenforce 0 for selinux

SUSE version for mini laptop is obviously quite scarce. Command "nmap" wasn't found!
Anyway I turned the firewall off using Yast, but it didn't make any difference.

The last line of your message:

and setenforce 0 for selinux

I don't quite understand
