Run system-config-network, and change your nic to use a hard coded IP address, rather than obtaining one through DHCP. Make sure you don't use one that is in the range issued byt your DHCP server (which is probably your router). Just to be clear, can you answer the following questions. 1. Are you trying to ssh in from a machine on your local network, or via the Internet? 2. Do you know if your ISP gives you a static external IP address, and if so, do you know what it is? 3. Does your router connect to your workstation by a network cable into the network card, or via a USB connection? I will be offline in an hout for the next couple of days, but others here can probably help if you still need it. Steve PS.
