I use ssh to sync my 2 laptops. I have all my keys in place, so it normally connects without a problem or having to enter a password. Until recently it worked fine, but now here is what I am dealing with.
On laptop #1, I connect to laptop #2 with the following: ssh -X george@192.168.1.169
It connects fine without any trouble.
On laptop #2 I connect to #1 with the following ssh -X george@192.168.1.180
I can connect to myself from laptop #1 to laptop #1 by running the same command ssh -X george@192.168.1.180, and it works no problem. So I think the port is open on that computer.
No, I think the firewall doesn't intervene in this case.
In my case, it does. Just realized I cannot ssh into my laptop anymore, and the firewall was blocking.
The reson was that the sshd service configuration for the firewall, /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2.d/services/sshd, was/is part of the openssh package, but the latest one doesn't have it anymore (because SuSEfirewall has been dropped). Nice move :(
(This is Tumbleweed - don't know how it is on other systems)
Well, in TW you should not be using SuSEfirewll2. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas))
