Okay, I think i have found a clue.

I swapped the os sd card. I was running the xbmc raspi os(it is to be a set top box). I put in the dev sd card with raspi debian, so i can install babeld. And ssh was working again.

damn

seems the issue is rasbmc ssh client

thanks for the help

Sorry, the second email was with my laptop directly connected by Ethernet. If both devices are on the same segment (ie, eth, 2.4, 5) I can SSH just fine. I might try SSH into router then out to raspi.

Huh? These two boxes should be able to reach each other, they are on
the same lan. They don't?

you sure you have openssh installed and no fws on the boxes?
openssh-server is not installed by default on ubuntu...

sake of argument, try installing babeld
