The advice is still not unsound though. It will take DHCP out of consideration. Is the problem one which appears after being able to ssh to the laptop successfully at some earlier time, like 5 minutes ago? What happens with ping/traceroute/ssh/telnet/route/arp from desktop to laptop and vice versa? Is there wireless on either machine? Does taking down the firewall on the router make any difference? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
