see, whenever i try to run magic it never connects. also, whenever i try to use putty, it says "Network Error: Connection Refused."

i have no clue what is the matter. I want to learn how to use this, it would be a shame for me not to be able to run Linux on my xbox.
I know it is connected to the net, cuz i can go to any website with the browser, but thats bout it. it will download manually, but as i said, magic doesnt work.

can anyone help me, plz?


thx

I know it is connected to the net

How is it connected, through a hub, another PC, a router, directly to modem/cable modem?

through a router, but i took it to my friends house and we used crossover cable and connnected straight to pc and it still said connection refused, so we tried to do it with his box and his worked just fine.

IMO Putty is a PITA.

Check out:
http://www.ssh.com/support/downloads/se ... rcial.html

It's ssh's product without PKR free (as in beer) for non-commercial use.

It has great Windows integration, especially tunneling and file transfer.

It's not for the security paranoid, since no source.

In this situation it's useful, since the error popups are fairly verbose.

1) Check the xbox network address, and can you ping it?
2) Scan the xbox network address for port 22 being open?
3) Is sshd running on gentoox?
4) Find out as per above at what point in the ssh protocol it's failing.

how do i c if ssh is running?
im a noob to linux.

how do u scan to c if port 22 open. I pinged the ip and it was fine. Do i scan like this: 192.168.1.113:22 cuz if so, it said couldnt find host

Oops. Sorry, but this getting a bit beyond a simple reply!

OK, if you're sitting at your Gentoox xbox with a USB keyboard:

Press cntrl-alt-F1 to get a text login screen
log in as "root", password "xbox"

to see if the ssh daemon (sshd) is running:

type: "/etc/init.d/sshd status"

you should get back:" * status: started"

or you could type "ps -ef | grep ssh"

and you should see a line something like:
"root 1127 1 0 01:48 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sshd"
if sshd is running.

From a windows PC on the same network open up a command prompt window and try:"telnet 192.168.1.113 22"

you sould see a response:
"SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.6.1p2

Protocol mismatch.


Connection to host lost."

if sshd is not running, try "/etc/init.d/sshd start" from the root prompt and see what it says.

it said connection to host lost

never said protocol mismatch

it was already running

Sorry, the "Protocol Mismatch" should happen when you press return after the OpenSSH header. Is it disconnecting immediately? If so you may have a certificate problem.

on telnet it takes a lil time. on putty, when i try to connect, its instantly. soon as i press open it says "Network Error: connection refused"

I am getting the same error...why has no one answered this question..it has been over 6 months?

Dude, you sure are having alot of problems, I'd suggest reading some of the tutorials and reinstalling, you may have botched the install.

put putty in your c:\windows\system32 directory then click start>run and type "putty -ssh xbox_ip" (replace xbox_ip with the ip of your xbox)

and you are sure that you connect to the correct ip adress? rin 'ifconfig' on the xbox and check the ip adress
