All right. While my SSH'ing to Mac work well, I am having difficulty doing the reverse.

I've set up the OpenSSH server for Windows as instructed. I know that the Cygwin sshd service is running, and I've already assigned my computer a static private IP, and opened a hole in the firewall toward the computer.

In my test, I was able to ssh from my Windows box to itself using the public IP.

But when I'm at Mac, I keep getting "ssh: connection to hostname timed out"

I've tried adjusting my commands as the instruction I've linked above and what Brad has instructed differs a bit, from using the host name to explicitly using a IP address, but nothing seems to work. I know that I can ping either IP and domain, but just... can't ssh in.

What should be my next step troubleshooting this?
