Re: wierd network problem on debian 4
Do a tcpdump to capture network traffic and after that, have a look to it with
wireshark.
Sure that this will reveal to you what is the cause of your problem.
In the server:
#tcpdump -n -i <interface_where_the_client_arrives> -w traffic.cap port 22
And after that:
#wireshar traffic.cap
