Do you have another user on the system? If so, try that instead. You may have root locked down.

Okay, the ping on a *NIX (except solaris) system will continue indefinately until either you do a ctrl-c to break it, or you set option to ping for a specific count. > Also, many of you pointed out that I had the PSCP command backwards. > I reversed it, exactly as was explained.

What am I missing? Out of curiosity, the network settings (except ip) are identical on both the windows and linux systems? Same subnet, same gateway, etc? Please post output from "ifconfig -a" and "netstat -rn" please from your linux system, and output from "ipconfig /all" from your windows system Find your ssh_config and sshd_config files and post to the list. They're most likely under /etc/ssh. -- -Shawn -Nemo me impune lacessit. Ne Obliviscaris..
