SSH connection problem

[Dustin Breese]

Ah, Firestarter might be it then!

To see if it is running, just use ps:
$ ps -ef | grep fire

Shut it down with:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/firestarter stop

Hopefully this helps.  Next thing to try is "ssh -vv" from your laptop
and send the output (obscure anything you don't want us to see)

Regards,
Dustin
