[QUOTE="Simbad54, post: 461499, member: 28115"] Hi guys, I'm attempting to access my Mac from a friends PC using SSH. I've downloaded and installed Putty on the PC, then entered my Mac's address as: ssh my name@my ip address and\or my name@my ip address (without the 'ssh') I get a fairly quick Network Error: Connection timed out. My Mac back home is configured with automatic DHCP, and I use DyNS to assign a permanent IP address online, which I'm pretty sure is different from the one my Mac has offered me in System Prefs. Could that be the problem? I haven't turned the Mac off since it offered me an IP address to connect to through SSH. [/QUOTE]
