All I could think of was to try a ssh connection from the server to the client, but that connection attempt hangs forever... strange. I do know it's not a firewall issue, since: bash:~# iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination And I know that sshd is running from this: bash:~# netstat -putan tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 7778/sshd The client machine is a ubuntu edgy machine, pretty standard. I don't understand what it is that's blocking the connection though, since there seems to be no firewall between the machines. Maybe I'll have to ask around the ubuntu forums for some help... unless there's a linux network specialist here that has an idea what's going on... thanks again, juhis
