For first level connection debugging I find the following pieces of information in the log to be most useful: SRC=IP address of the sending system DST=IP address of the destination system Do an ifconfig (Linux) or ipconfig (Windows) to see what the IP address is for both end points. Verifying these lets you make sure the problem isn't DNS. PROTO=The protocol for the communication. Typically one of UDP, TCP or ICMP. ssh and telnet use TCP so these log entries are for something else. SPT=Source port. Can be interesting if you have outbound firewall filter rules (most people don't). DPT=Destination port. Identifies the service requested at the destination. Look in /etc/services for definitions. ssh is service (or port 22) and telnet is service (or port) 23. Your log entries are to port 138 so, again, nothing to do with ssh or telnet.
