Re: Opening port 22



 Connection refused means tcp sent a RST packet to your remote machine. 
 You do not have 22 listening for remote connections.  Verify if it is 
even running locally by sshing to localhost on both sides.  If that 
works then see if you have ssh only listening on the lo interface and 
not ALL interfaces, like 0.0.0.0 :-)
