    Openssh Help

    I believe I have everything set up correctly, but when I try to connect to a remote computer it times out. I went to analyze the traffic through Wireshark, and my computer seems to change the source port every time I try to connect to the remote computer. I figured this is why the remote computer wont connect, because it is listening on port 22 only. Any help would be much appreciated. Let me know if there is any details I left out that could help.

    The source port is random, this is normal operation.

    1) Can you reach the ssh server machine from your client? ping, traceroute
    2) Is port 22 firewalled on the ssh server?
    3) Do you get a password prompt or anything from the server, if you try to ssh connect?
    You must always face the curtain with a bow.
