I checked the logs and nothing related to SSH found. All i could see
were messages like this:

Sep 30 17:08:02 DEC-U gconfd (root-8125): Resolved address
"xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only
configuration source at position 2

"xml:readonly:/var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults" to a read-only
configuration source at position 3

"xml:readonly:/var/lib/gconf/defaults" to a read-only configuration
source at position 4

I can connect from within the computer itself but not from the ouside.
I am not currently at home so i had to ask my wife do all this for
me,. She was able to access the localhost but i was still not able to
access the server from the outside. I have the firewall disabled now.
