I have accounts on two Centos servers, A and B, each hosted on a remote VPS by a different provider/datacenter.
Until yesterday night, I could connect without problems via SSH to both servers from my home Fedora 16 desktop.
Yesterday I completed (fingers crossed) the switch to a different ADSL provider. From the moment I turned on the modem on the new ADSL line, I became unable to ssh into server A. All attempts abort with this message:
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
<snip> This would be obnoxious, but have you checked with your ADSL provider, to see if they're blocking ssh traffic?
markAlso. Could the server A have a firewall that had allow ranges for your original ip range? Or denyhosts... something like that
From memory the only time I've seen that error message was due to entries in the /etc/hosts.allow file specifying what IP addresses are allowed ssh in. Changing your ISP would change your address.
