Okay. Here is the newest report. I tried several things people suggested. On Linux - When I type "ssh root at localhost" it hangs for several minutes, and does not print anything to the screen. Typed: less /etc/ssdh_config Said: No such file or directory I typed: find / sshd It said: no such file or directory When I typed "telnet localhost 22" it said "Trying 1 . . ." and did nothing else. It gave no SSH version. Typed "telnet 192.168.1.2 22" It said: Connected to 192.168.1.2 Escape character is 'ctrl ]' SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.7.1p2 Typed: tcpdump -n src host 192.168.1.1 Said: Command not found. I can ping Linux box from Windows. I can ping Windows from Linux. When I ping Windows from the Linux box it keeps going and going and going. Can I "ssh to localhost" on the Linux box? No. Also, many of you pointed out that I had the PSCP command backwards. I reversed it, exactly as was explained. When typed on the Windows machine: pscp -r user at 192.168.1.2:/home/user/directories/to/copy c:\home I still get the error "ssh_init: Connection timed out" On Windows - Typed: arp -a 192.168.1.2 Said: No ARP entries found Ideas?
