The result was :

"ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.2 port 22: No route to host"

Then I tried : ping 192.168.1.2 and it says : "Destination Host Unreachable"
Any idea what is wrong ?


SSH has two parts: the client and the server. You only need to install ssh server on the debian pc to allow remote logins to the desktop pc. Please change RootLogin back to "no"; that is a *big* security risk.

Did you reboot your Alix after you made that change?

Is you cable plugged into the jack closest to the power connector?

When rebooting your Alix board keep an eye on the LED's where the LAN cable is plugged in. You should it see it a series of rapid blinks approximately 10-30 seconds after rebooting the board.

Install nmap on your dektop: apt-get install nmap

Issue the command nmap -sP 192.168.1.*
You should get a list of machines that are up and running. My Alix shows up as:
Host alix2 (192.168.1.17) appears to be up.
