Thank you for the suggestions Bret. Unfortunately, none of this has worked. sshd is definitely enabled and running on both machines, ipchains and iptables are both definitely disabled, I've confirmed this with ntsysv, and I've rebooted. ipchains -L tells me that it will ACCEPT everything.
There is nothing in hosts.deny. Something interesting though. I also have SuSE installed on my desktop computer, and ssh has always worked OK with SuSE. So I've booted into SuSE. I have RH 7.2 on my laptop, SuSE on my desktop, and with ssh I can log onto the SuSE machine, and with scp I can copy files to the SuSE machine. But from the SuSE machine, I cannot access the Redhat laptop - I keep getting "connection refused" errors. Clearly, something in RH 7.2 is blocking access, but I still haven't figured out what that is. Nor do I understand why wvdial on Redhat can't authenticate my ppp account (but Redhat 7.1 had no problem). Is there some firewall option (besides already mentioned ipchains & iptables) which I don't know about? I'm really out of ideas. best regards (and Merry Christmas), Robert "They're just jealous because they don't have three wise men and a virgin in the whole organization." - Mayor Vincent J. `Buddy' Cianci on the ACLU's lawsuit to have a city nativity scene removed On Sun, 23 Dec 2001 12:03:54 -0600 Bret Hughes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Robert Storey wrote: > > > > Just today I switched from RH 7.1 to 7.2.
