Well, he had already done what you had posted as a solution, and I wasn't actually criticising you posting what worked for you, my comment was directed to reinob. But my point was, there is no point asking him for more information because he is no longer active here and either he won't be interested now or will have sorted it. As an aside his issue could be that he didn't actually start a ssh server on the machine he is trying to connect to, or it could be misconfigured, but without feedback from him we won't know what his problem was caused by.
