I've just (re)installed ubuntu 11.10 on my main pc, and the connection times out every time I try to ssh connect to my laptop (over the local network) to retrieve the files I backed up there. The connection times out every time I try to connect.
I can establish a connection in the other direction without
issue.
Here's the verbose output I get when I try to connect:
ovangle@ruby-EP43-DS3:~$ ssh -v

OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-7ubuntu1, OpenSSL 1.0.0e 6 Sep 2011

ssh: connect to host 10.1.1.4 port 22: Connection timed out
ssh is installed on both machines, and I've tried deleting '~/.ssh/known_hosts' on both machines, still nada.
I've changed the sshd logging on the laptop to VERBOSE and restarted the daemon (because I wasn't getting any relevant syslog entries otherwise), and this is the log for the most recent connection attempt.
EDIT: posted wrong logs last time. They just showed that there was a connection received, they weren't actually the sshd logs (which were in auth.log as I recently discovered). Unfortunately, that log is filling up with extremely weird error messages and it gives me no information about the connection.
