Cannot connect to host with SSH
Recently the hard drive on my powerbook g4 began crashing. Luckily I was able to backup the user folders to another machine before replacing the drive. Once the drive was replaced, I installed Tiger. Once the powerbook was back up and running, I moved the user folders back from the other machine.
Now, I am unable to make a connection to my web site host via SSH. Here is a copy / paste from the terminal window of a recent attempt:
shell:~ user$ ssh -v -l user host

I have determined that this is a problem somewhere between my powerbook and using Airport to connect wirelessly to the internet. I have a Base Station connected to a cable modem. To test this theory, I connected the powerbook directly to the cable modem via ethernet and had no problem using SSH.
Here are some additional troubleshooting steps I have taken trying to get this to work:
Deleting the known hosts file.
Deleting the .shh folder.
Adjusting Airport configuration settings.
Triple checking the firewall is off.
Repairing permissions using Hard disk utility.
Attempting to use SSH in a new user account.
I have also done the following to make sure it is my powerbook having the problem and not the host:
Successfully connecting to host from a different Mac running Tiger.
Successfully connecting to host from a PC running Linux.
Successfully connecting to host from a PC running Windows XP.
Can anyone help me?
