SSH connection time out

Hi,
I have cygwin installed on my XP box with sshd service running.

"ssh user@localhost" works fine for me.
However, "ssh user@198.168.0.102" does not. in the latter's case the
ip is my machine's IP (the same one that i run ssh user@localhost on).

The error is: "ssh: connect to host 198.168.0.102 port 22: Connection
timed out"

Now i have done the following:
-ensured my firewall is allowing port 22 traffic
-added port forwarding for port 22 in my router.

anyone have any idea why localhost would work, but using the machine's
ip? I'm assuming if the machine IP does not work, then the WAN (remote
ssh) won't work either...which is my ultimate goal..as i would like to
offer users remove access to my local CVS repository

thanks much.

^^^^^^ ^^
Unsure what this has to do with *comp.os.linux.networking*?
Perhaps you'd better try css (comp.security.ssh).

Good luck

Assuming that there is some similarity between Linux and Cygwin, you
might need to set the ListenAddress in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

Shouldn't be the problem, defaults IIRC to 22, perhaps his ISP is
blocking port 22? We don't know and don't really care about
someone's problem running doze which is not categorical but in
this case completely OT here.

thanks michael for your help. keep the good fight up brother, we must
kill the evil Bill! yeah.

Bill, thanks for you help...i was able to solve the problem and it was
indeed related to sshd.
i needed to start the sshd server/daemon that is a part of the OpenSSH
package.

FYI..cygwin is similar to Linux...they both have their orgins from the
same source. O fcourse, unlike Michael Heiming, not all of us are
privied to be able to dictate the environment we need to work on in the
corporate world. So for those of us that must work on an XP or other
Windows box, cygwin is nice, real nice if we like the linux/unix
environment.

Great that you could get things working, even if it remains
mysterious how you could 'ssh localhost' successfully without even
starting sshd?

It's likely you'll never will, if you settle for cygwin. It's
some kind of *nix emulation working on doze.

Anyway the question is still OT in this group or following your
logic you could happily post to any *nix group.

BTW
Please keep some context while replying, thx.
