Please remind me again what the configuration issues are for having a
box running sshd accept ssh connections within an intranet.

My laptop can be pinged and I can ssh out, but when I try to ssh into it
from elsewhere, I get a no route to host error. I've tried comparing the
conf files in /etc/ssh (sshd_ and ssh_) with no flash of insight.
If you can ping it, how can you get a no route to host?
Beats me. That's why I asked.

Heh.

The laptop is running FC 5 and the other machines are all in FC 4. Don't
know if that matters.
Have you tried using nmap instead of ping to see what's there?

From the machine that could ping it.  Or are you pinging your laptop
from your laptop?

What does the output of "netstat -nr" look like?
>From which machine?
  ^-- ???
I can get and post responses from the machines trying to ssh into the
laptop, but I'll have to go home to run anything on the laptop since I
can't ssh in.

Hm... I was under the impression that you were on a 192.168 subnet, not
that this was a home/work sort of thing.  Now I'm thinking that you have
a firewall and a NAT box doing their job (firewall is blocking incoming
connections, NAT box is translating from 192.168.x.y to whatever your
public IP is).

Solemn pronouncement of the day:

Every networking problem is best attacked by first describing the network: identifying end-points and every device between the end-points.

If there are more than 2 end-points, divide the problem into smaller problems, each of which is concerned with exactly 2 end-points.
