Did you by chance reinstall ssh on the machine you're connecting from or do anything to change its key? If something happenned to that box's key, then the box you're trying to connect to sees that that box has a different key and denies you from the get-go. It's for anti-IP-spoofing. Try ssh-ing from the "server" to your portable. If the key has changed, you will get an error message. Find out where ssh holds its key database (can't remember right off the top of my head) and kill off the entry for that machine. It should work then.

Worse, I'm sitting in front of three idiot consultants from Razorfish who spend the whole time talking loudly and incessantly. Remarkably, not one word of it resembled any productive activity in the slightest. 'So, I conducted a series of group discussion sessions to quantify how they establish their procedures.' 'But, Bianca, how did you formulate the framework for evaluating their paradigms?' My favorite line - Bianca is irate because a client asked her for some concrete bit of information: 'Can you believe that? Hello? I'm an Information Architect, not a Knowledge Engineer!'" --dump() on slashdot
