Anyone have any problems installing OpenSSH via Cygwin on Vista 64 Bit?

Question

I was able to install the sshd service (after A LOT of problems), and was able to ssh on the machine that I installed it on by saying ssh hao@192.168.1.3 AND ssh localhost. However, all other machines on my local area network could not ssh to it. I checked and port 22 was indeed open, and SSH was listening on that port.

Anyone gone through an install like this?

Thanks in advance!

Chances are the Vista firewall is active. Open control panel, search for firewall, and turn it off entirely and see if external connections work. If they do, then you gotta figure out how to open port 22 inbound, which should be pretty easy but without a Vista machine handy I can't tell you exactly.
