Problem has to be in my Belkin wireless router, since I can connect fine using either machine on a patch cable. I don't have a spare router to test this, mind you. I don't want either you or I to waste time trying to diagnose it further, either.
er ... I am wading in in the middle of this whole thing, so excuse me if I am mistaken below.
If I see this correctly: 1) SSH from laptop to tower works with wired connection through your router. 2) Same situation, but now wireless, SSH does not work.Which leads me to the questions: Do you have iptables based firewall running on your laptop? Check that and verify it is set up to allow SSH through wlan0 (or whatever wireless port your laptop has).
Second, I assume you have verified again and again that wireless itself works (you can browse the internet, etc.). To verify the problem is on your tower, you could, if possible, ask a friend who has a Linux machine to give you an account on it and try SSHing to that machine. In other words, does SSH work if you try accessing a machine outside your LAN (maybe to your school if you are affiliated to one)?
