ssh: connect to host linux-lass port 22: Connection refused

it says that both ways if i try to connect to my netbook from my desktop and the other way around so please help cos ssh would be useful

Hi
On the 10.3 machine you need to go into YaST and the firewall section
and allow ssh access.

Check that ssh daemon is enabled in both computers with “rcsshd status”.

You can try to connect with firewall service stopped. To do so, just
run “rcSuSEfirewall2 stop” in both machines.

If that works, you will have to adjust your firewall.

Remember you can make ssh to be more verbose by appending “-vvv” to the
command:


ssh -vvv user@host


Greetings,
