Try this (some have been already mentioned): - Use the numeric IP instead of webster. - I am assuming the user name is the same on both ends, but put it anyway just to humor me. - If you have an authorized_keys file on the server (in $HOME/.ssh) temporarily move it to somewhere else. - Can each machine ping the other? I just did an experiment on my network. Using my two Fedora 21 systems I ran "ssh -vv user@numeric-ip" to see what was different on mine: [guest1@laptop1 ~]$ ssh -vv guest1@192.168.1.24 OpenSSH_6.6.1, OpenSSL 1.0.1k-fips 8 Jan 2015 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 51: Applying options for * debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to 192.168.1.24 [192.168.1.24] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/guest1/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /home/guest1/.ssh/id_rsa-cert type -1 debug1: identity file /home/guest1/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 debug1: identity file /home/guest1/.ssh/id_dsa-cert type -1 debug1: identity file /home/guest1/.ssh/id_ecdsa type -1 debug1: identity file /home/guest1/.ssh/id_ecdsa-cert type -1 debug1: identity file /home/guest1/.ssh/id_ed25519 type -1 debug1: identity file /home/guest1/.ssh/id_ed25519-cert type -1 debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_6.6.1 debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_6.6.1 debug1: match: OpenSSH_6.6.1 pat OpenSSH_6.6.1* compat 0x04000000 The second to last line is different on mine. I believe this means that either the server couldn't send a response or the client couldn't receive it. I think "Connection reset by peer" means the client didn't like where this was going and shut it down. Maybe tcpdump could be used to check this.
