If the machine can receive incoming ssh that just means that IP is up and running. Does the Mandrake box run a DNS cache? What is the contents of your resolv.conf? What happens when you run nslookup (by itself) from the command line on this machine? Are there any firewall rules on the Mandrake box? t -- PGP key : http://n12turbo.com/tarragon/public.key
