Hi

I have a problem that seems to be happening to all the macs in my house: they won't let me log in using ssh. I tried to log from my powerbook to itself via ssh and it works just fine, but I can't log into my mac mini, and vice-versa. The network seems to be working fine, since I can use VNC between the two, but not ssh; besides, the pings between the two are answered inmediatly. Also, I sometimes log to my PowerBook from a Windows PC via ssh using a graphical frontend, and that's working almost never now... it takes several tries to get it to work (10 or more, sometimes). The problems with ssh started when I updated to 10.4.10 (or around that time). Someone can help me? I've been trying to solve this for days now, without any luck :(. Thanks in advance.

I remembered another problem... when I log in via VNC from my PowerBook to my Mac Mini, there's a problem with the keyboard... I use a spanish keyboard, and it works fine on the PowerBook, but when I'm controlling the Mac Mini, the characters are the ones of an US keyboard... for example, when I press 7 while holding shift, i get the character "/"; but when doing it remotely, I get "_".

I'll be very grateful to whoever can help me with either of this issues. Thanks.

EDIT: I made a network just between the PowerBook and the Mini today (using the option "Create network" in one of the computers), and ssh worked just fine... So it's not my computers, but my router (a D-Link DI-524UP). I had WPA enabled, and disabled it to see if that was the problem, but nothing happened... and I don't see any options about this in the web gui. Someone knows what's going on?
