If you can login to ssh locally but not from the outside, perhaps your Windows' firewall is blocking this.

That was my thought, too, but it seems to be correct and turning it off didn't help. Could I be missing a similar flag somewhere?

Perhaps some antivirus software?

I've got Norton and ThreatFire.


Also have a look in
(windows') control panel - administration - event viewer - application
Any entries for sshd?
Any error entries?

Yes. Four, all the same. source: sshd category: None user: System computer: 173249...=the one I'm on

It was still four after I tried to ssh from outside again.
The timeout period seems to be getting longer.

In cygwin/etc, is there a file named "hosts.allow" ?
It should be there and contain a line

sshd: ALL

There wasn't. No hosts.deny either.

or a list of allowed hosts, see e.g.
http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl5_hostsal.htm


Start the service by

cygrunsrv -S sshd

No go. Win32 error 1062 I tried again after making the rest of /etc system:system . Same no go.

Did you issue all these command while having windows administrator rights? The service can only be installed while logged in with administrator rights.

Yes.


The sshd service should also be displayed in Windows' services list.
(following is my translation to English, maybe it's actually named
differently, but I haven't access to an English WinXP:)
Control panel - administration - computer administration - services and
applications - services
It shows as
service name: sshd
start type: automatic
status: ended

status is blank.


You can also look in to the task manager.
It should show up as sshd.exe with user "SYSTEM".

It does.



(Also with admin rights) open a command prompt ("DOS box") and enter


netstat -a

It should display

TCP computername:ssh computername:0 LISTENING

Also what I infer are two putty sessions and a WinScp session.


Repeat this after making a local connection.

TCP computername:ssh computername:4120 ESTABLISHED
