Hi, You would probably want to do some tests to see if the network really is up first.
- Check by doing *ifconfig eth0 *on both machines, and make sure they have the given IPs - Then try pinging both ways and see if you get a return - Check the lights on the NICs are active - Make sure SSH server is running by: */etc/init.d/ssh-server status* - When initiating a connection do *ssh -vvv 192.168.0.2* for more verbose Copy and paste the results. That's all I can think of for now, until more info are provided.
