About ssh

I have no clue.  Though I'm using windows 8, the following seems to apply:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/turn-windows-firewall-on-off#turn-windows-firewall-on-off=windows-vista

But, at any rate, though the indication to turn on/off firewall is
there, it's not actionable.  Meaning, the options don't seem to be
enabled.

OK, done on windows with "ncat -lp 22".  The application keeps there
listening I'd guess.

> On your client, you run
>   $ echo blah | nc <host> 22

This on the remote box just hangs, and nothing happens.  Apparently it
happens the same as with ssh.

Thanks,
