Hi,

I am trying to ssh into my Nokia N900 but it fails. I set up usb0 and made sure that wireless is turned on:

Trying to access the N900 from my laptop I get the following message:

Code:

schm@epithalamus:~$ ssh root@192.168.254.219
ssh: connect to host 192.168.254.219 port 22: No route to host

The same happens when trying to access it via USB:

Code:

schm@epithalamus:~$ ssh root@192.168.2.15
ssh: connect to host 192.168.2.15 port 22: No route to host

Any ideas how to fix this?

I am actually experiencing this also.

I have verified SSHd is running, confirmed the IP address of the N900 on my WLAN, and also confirmed connectivity. I can get a secure shell on the N900 from loopback, localhost and the internal LAN address when SSH'ing directly on the device.

I just can't hit it from any other machine. I am running down ssh configs right now to see if anything randomly changed.

looks like a problem with your ip address setup / routing

on your n900 issue the following commands as root and post the output:

cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config
route
ifconfig -a

on your computer from which you are trying to connect, issue:

ifconfig -a
route, or route print, or ip route show

try (while connected to the phone)

ifconfig usb0 down
ifconfig usb0 up

then try to ssh in again

For some reason I am experiencing decay on WiFi. I open a constant ping session on the N900 to my workstation, and everything works fine.

OK, here is the output of

And this is the output of route:

Is this a problem with my routing table?

first of all it's a problem with your usb0 interfaces

neither has an IP address configured, your "/etc/network/interfaces" is probably missing some bits.
once both interfaces have the correct IPs (192.168.2.14 and .15), the routing table should be updated automatically.

When trying to log in over wireless I suggest to check how close to access point your N900 is. Once I moved my phone to the other side of the room my troubles went away. I think N900 is somewhat susceptible to near field problems.

Yes, usb0 seems to be disconnected but ssh to the N900 via wireless by
ssh root@192.168.254.219
should work since both the laptop and the N900 are in the same subnet. I also moved the N900 close to the access point but it doesn`t work. ssh from the N900 to another computer works.
Any ideas?
