Connection reset by peer error using cygwin on windows to connect minix via ssh


You have to allow connections within your own subnet in the Cygwin /etc/hosts.allow. Add a line like this to your /etc/hosts.allow on the Cygwin machine:

ALL : 192.168.123.0/24 : allow

and in your case, you'll need to add the localhost like so:

ALL : localhost 127.0.0.1/32 [::1]/128 [::ffff:127.0.0.1]/128 : allow

The last line should have come with a stock Cygwin installation so it would be strange if you had to add it.

It matters where you enter it. You will have some DENY entries and you should put it above those, but it should work if you put it with all of the other ALLOW statements.
