I don't know what's the problem any one can help me, to solve this problem


thank you in advance

That seems to be the correct behavior if you are trying to connect to a local ssh server. Do you have a particular need to specify the "external" IP address of your local machine? 127.0.0.1 should also work, it what you need is to specify it as in IP address.

hello again

thanks Einheit for trying help, I spend much time searching on the internet, I found many people who has the same problem but none of them has the solution, Thanks Allah I found the solution, and I guess I have to add,

it's a hardware problem, from switch, as everyone know that switches has Uplink port and X1 port the "first port after the uplink", at most X1 port don't has a led as other ports,
it used to connect other switches with your switch or to connect a PC in parallel with other uses, which means PC connected in X1 port can't see other uses nor other users can see him too, so you just have to remover your PC from X1 port to any other port

that's it
