hi, I have just installed debian 4 on a machine. i am running sshd on it.
However, when i try to login to the machine from Putty (on another windows computer on the network), it goes ahead and asks for user name. I enter the username, and when i enter the password i get 'Network error: Software caused connection abort'. I believe the connection is lost at a very basic level. When i then try to ssh to the box, i get 'connection refused', as if nothing is listening on the port. Sometimes i am able to login successfully, but after a while the connection is completely lost at random. When lost, i get 'connection refused' when I retry. But I still can ping to the machine all this time. I checked ssh logs as well, but nothing of use there. So i tried using VNC, and same problem occurs (meaning i get connection lost), but still ping works. I am completely lost, and dont know where to look for Any help is appreciated.
