putty question

[Glenn at home]

Good idea,
I tried pinging the box, and I got the same thing:
timed out
I ran ifconfig on the Linux box and all seems okay, and ifconfig also 
confirmed my IP address.
Why would it time out?

Hi,

Can you ping the box?  What does netstat -an give on the box - for
example, I have the following:

Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address
State
[...]

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:110             0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN

This is POP daemon listening on all interfaces

[...]

tcp        0      0 192.168.1.3:22          0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN

This is because I have set SSHD to listen on the _lan_ interface only,
as I don't trust myself with making it available on the DMZ side for
internet use.

Do you see an entry in the table on your system refering to port 22?

Thanks.
Andrew.
