So, I have a strange issue. I have a local machine (laptop) connecting remotely to several desktops including one that is a fully updated F20 (this is the one I have total control over and therefore my choice of distributions). The others are RHEL5's or Centos6. Connections are only permitted to all machines through VPN (university policy). So, I on my new DSL connection (which is wired and will replace my cable modem connection) but currently both are active. Anyway, I can connect to all machines when I am on the cable modem (using wireless) and VPN unlimited number of times. I can connect to all the non-F20 machines using ssh unlimited times when I am on DSL and VPN. However, I can only connect once t the F20 machine when I am on DSL and the VPN. There is no way I can connect directly. (I can connect to one of the non-F20 machines by ssh and from there connect to the F20 machine however.) I can only connect directly again to the F20 machine by ssh from my local machine by rebooting the remote F20 machine. And that too for only one time. After I log out, I can not connect again. What should I looking for? /var/log/secure does not have any entry when I can not connect (however it does have an entry when I cancel the connection by Ctrl-C -- "Connection closed"). Any suggestions as to how to diagnose and solve this problem? Sorry for bringing forth the strangest of questions. I am hoping that someone more familiar with networking issues will have some idea and suggestions on what is going on. Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan ____________________________________________________________ FREE 3D EARTH SCREENSAVER - Watch the Earth right on your desktop!
