Re: ssh connects to originating host

Can you provide the output of following commands  on both A and B?

netstat -nr
traceroute host (A when logged in to B and viceversa)
arp -a ( on both A and B)
ifconfig (on A) eliminate the public IP/GATEway before you post it here.


You may not have the correct path to the network (private) .
