[Linux-disciples] new debian install -- trouble getting online

[Adam Rosi-Kessel]

Can you ssh to Thinkpad?  I.e.:

ssh 192.168.1.102

(assuming 192.168.1.102 is the Thinkpad)

Make sure the ssh package is installed on the Thinkpad and that you
configured it to accept connections/run as a daemon/server.  If you
didn't, you can reconfigure it with:

dpkg-reconfigure ssh
