Trouble getting in with ssh?

Hi all

I have reached my shared server with ssh earlier today but now I get a "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host".

I have verified that I am using the exact same command and I can ping the host.

The two best suggestions from my googling are
- delete the known hosts (tried without success)
- take a walk and wait for connections to free up (about to try)

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Hi Cta,

It seems to be a IP block at the server firewall. Could you please get back to us with your global IP by accessing the link http://whatismyip.com . We will check it and get back to you.

Short Story: When configuring NetBeans to use SSH to interact with a Subversion repository, you must edit the subversion configuration and restart Netbeans.

Long Story:
I am a long time Java developer and a newbie at Rails. I have found that NetBeans 6.1 eases the conversion quite a bit. But...

I was able to checkout from Subversion in NetBeans by specifying the tunneling information in the checkout wizard. Later (I believe it was after a restart) when I tried to update from the repository I noticed that the user name that NetBeans was passing to SSH was my local OS user name. Of course, I noticed this AFTER I exceeded my max failed logins and was briefly locked out of ssh access... Fortunately the fine support team here responded really quickly and didn't even mock me for repeatedly sending the wrong user name.  

So, the fix was to edit the Subversion config file as described at:

http://subversion.netbeans.org/faq/index.html

For me on Unix, it was just

ssh = $SVN_SSH ssh -l myusername

You do need to restart NetBeans to get it to pick up the change.
