ssh into laptop [Solved]

I am having problems reaching my laptop from desktop via ssh

Have used ssh in the past with no real problems other than setting up ip for machines, went to try out ssh again the other day and could only ssh into laptop from laptop

now I use dhcp for router and I only want to access laptop/desktop from LAN not outside

hosts

#<ip-address>   <hostname.domain.org>   <hostname>
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
192.168.0.4     mrgreen-laptop.localdomain      mrgreen-laptop
192.168.0.3     desktop.localdomain             desktop
# End of file

#
# /etc/hosts.allow
#

sshd: 192.168.0.

# End of file

If I try to ssh from desktop it justs hangs.... files are the same on both machines maybe thats the problem?

Once set up I can then run sshfs which is what I really want

Have followed Wiki guide but still no luck

The problem appears to be on /etc/hosts.allow

I don't think your IP is 192.168.0.

You seem to have forgotten a digit.

Aaron - man 5 hosts_access, PATTERNS section. Mr Green's syntax is correct.

Mr Green - use ssh -v to get verbose output, see if that tells you anything. You can use up to three verbose flags, depending on how much info you need.

In my /etc/ssh/ssh_config [removed #ed lines!]

Host *

   Port 22
  Protocol 2

HashKnownHosts yes
StrictHostKeyChecking ask

ssh -v mrgreen@mrgreen-laptop

OpenSSH_4.7p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Applying options for *
debug1: Connecting to mrgreen-laptop [192.168.0.4] port 22.
debug1: connect to address 192.168.0.4 port 22: No route to host
ssh: connect to host mrgreen-laptop port 22: No route to host

See, I didn't ask that question because I reckoned I didn't need to...

"No route to host" means exactly what it says - your basic network setup is not correct. Can you ping from desktop to laptop?

Re: ssh into laptop [Solved]

Thats my problem :-) .... tried to ping from desktop to laptop [192.168.0.4] nothing

laptop to desktop [192.168.0.3] works

Maybe Arch does not Ubuntu lol

Re: ssh into laptop [Solved]

I'm confused, you say your using DHCP on your router, but you're using static IP's on your computers?  Any particular reason?

# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
#   - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it

ROUTES=(!gateway)

Maybe I did not make much sense... I use dhcp but I have static addresses for my machines...

I still don't get you... But its prolly my fault.

Anyways i think ifconfig and IP check on both machines would be in order.
