This problem is resolved!!! Hooray.  The romote firewall had the ssh set
to block.

The block was removed, and ssh is up and working fine!

heaven forbid telnet is running can you telnet to the remote?
heaven forbid ftp is running can you ftp to the server?

Have you checked /etc/hosts.allow for ssh?

if you can go ssh <IP> -l logname
or ssh <ip> and it hangs it sounds like a firewall/hosts.allow issue
that is stopping you.


I assume that sshd is active and listening on the default port...

/etc/ssh/sshd_config sample:

Port 22
Protocol 2
ListenAddress 10.10.10.5
#ListenAddress ::

/etc/hosts.allow

sshd:   10.10.10.

Hi,
 
I have a Linux machine that has the ssh daemon running, and am trying 
to access it via my windows xp machine with cygwin.
 
I can ping the linux machine ip address, or nslookup the linux machine

from cygwin.  I can also do the reverse with the linux machine to 
windows.
 
When I try
~# ssh myuserid@linux-ip-address or ~# ssh linux-ip-address
 
it hangs for 15-20 seconds, then gives me the following error:
ssh:  connect to host  xxx.xxx.x.xx port 22: Connection timed out
 
I've been through the information on www.openssh.com 
<http://www.openssh.com/>  manual pages, and don't see anthing that 
points me in the right direction.
 
Any ideas?
