SOLVED, was: cannot reach F16 box via ssh

[M. Fioretti]

it turns out the external ADSL modem was configured in a state to
block incoming ssh connections. How this happened is beyond me, since
the configuration WAS working until 2 hours before we replaced the
computer, I have no memory of changing it in any way, and the same is
true for all of the people in my friends place. Ah, well...

thanks for your patience and all the inputs,

Marco
