    Hi,

    I use UPC for my internet provider.

    Tow of us in the house have ubuntu laptops. Yesterday I tried to ssh to his machine but I couldn't get there. No route to host.

    Why is this? Can I make some changes to allow this

    This should not be an issue. I have already done this and I am with UPC as well. It could be due to the built in firewall on the Cisco router. Go in there and turn it off and see if that works.

    What command method and options did you use?

    Was it to the ip address, or a host name?
    Is your router blocking port 22?

    Are you on the same network/sub domain? or were you trying to ssh in from work or other location.

    If you are on the same network as the other computer, can you ping the other computer ip address?
    Have you tried using both the ip and a host name (if it has one)
    ssh user@192.168.1.1 or user@mycomputer

    Can the other computer ping or ssh into you?

    thanks guys, will check this at home tomorrow.

    anyways, it's while i'm at home using ssh -l username ipaddress

    i'd say it could be a firewall... i ssh to a different server on the internet a lot and no problems there so 22 isn't blocked.

    Has he got openssh server installed and running? It is not installed or running by default.

    Yeah, I've been using Ubuntu for years now. I know all about the software needed etc. I'm just not too up to date on my networking.

    I'm at work now but I had the problem described above before and also another time I set up a LAMP server and couldn't hit it from another machine.

    I'll check again when I'm home tonight anyways.

    I have quite a bit of experience with this sort of stuff so if you need a hand tonight with anything you are more than welcome to add me to MSN/skype or whatever and we can try and sort it out.

    Sound, I'll check the router and that and see if I can get it working. If not I'll give you a shout :)

    That's all sorted now anyways lads,

    Was simple in the end. I just needed a wee push in the right direction I think.

    Cheers for the help. Will set up LAMP server sometime soon and I guess I should be able to get it working properly now. I think I just had it in my head that this sort of thing was disabled or something...
