Need some pointers on the following:

Configuration - a DSL modem feeding to a wireless router. My desktop is on cabled ethernet, n800 obviously on router provided access point.

I need to ssh between n800 and my mac. Mac settings were trivial - one check mark and it tells me now: "To log in to this computer remotely, type "ssh jmg@192.168.0.101".

On n800 I installed openssh , entered new root password and rebooted.

Q. a) Connecting from Mac

Code:
ssh user@192.168.0.102
The authenticity of host '192.168.0.102 (192.168.0.102)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 19:20:d7:bc:18:df:0f:ea:4b:a0:3e:b4:29:fe:e0:3d.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? y
Please type 'yes' or 'no': yes
Warning: Permanently added '192.168.0.102' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
user@192.168.0.102's password: (entered openssh root password)
Permission denied, please try again.
Tried to change my user password on n800 using passwd command it tells me that my password cannot be changed. Tried to execute passwd with sudo using openssh root password but n800 will not accept it.

Suggestions?


(peripheral question - I had to guess my n800 local IP number (192.168.0.102 above)- as it appears there is no prescribed way to find it. Correct?)
------------

Q. b) connecting from n800 to my mac

Code:
ssh jmg@192.168.0.101
connect to  jmg@192.168.0.101: Network is unreachable.
How come my mac sees n800 and n800 doesn't see my mac?
