Run: service iptables status That should list if you have iptables running and if you do what the rules are that are in place. Most likely if you have the default iptables rules ssh is blocked. You can either edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables and add rules manually or use system-config-securitylevel to allow ssh through. As a quick test you can disable iptables with: service iptables stop -- Scot L. Harris webid@xxxxxxxxxx All that glitters is not gold; all that wander are not lost.
