Are you using a router/firewall on the network with the services? Make sure
you forward to the correct port and IP on the actual box hosting the
specified service (i.e. port 22 for ssh). Cox is relatively hostile
regarding users running servers of any kind. They scan your machine multiple
times a day, specifically looking for news servers (amongst others). Use
snort or some form of IDS to determine what the originating IP of the scan
is (when I found it, it was called authorized-scan.home.net or something
similar) and simply firewall that host from accessing your machine. Hope
this helps.

Subject: Why would my system be unaccessible?


Hi

My system, which I think is running ok, is all of a sudden
unaccessible. Trying to ssh into the machine hangs, yet
sshd is running. Trying to go to a web page returns
nothing, yet apache is running. To add to the confusion,
ping says it is alive.

Can someone suggest why or help me debug why this is happening?

The ip is 24.9.218.175.

This is what ssh does:
ssh -v 24.9.218.175
OpenSSH_2.5.2p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090600f
debug1: Seeded RNG with 39 bytes from programs
debug1: Seeded RNG with 3 bytes from system calls
debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be
trusted.
debug1: ssh_connect: getuid 1054 geteuid 0 anon 1
debug1: Connecting to 24.9.218.175 [24.9.218.175] port 22.
debug1: connect: Connection timed out
debug1: Trying again...
debug1: Connecting to 24.9.218.175 [24.9.218.175] port 22.
debug1: connect: Connection timed out
...

Thanks
