big problem with putty and magic
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

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.

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.
