ssh doesn't work over WiFi [closed]

I can SSH to myself on both the 'bot and the workstation, but not one to another. What would prevent ssh from working over WiFi? Ping works all 4 ways.

What is the error that is shown? Are you specifying the correct names for ssh?

I don't know if this is the appropriate place to ask this question, but have you installed openssh-server in both machines?

What do you mean by ssh to yourself? Is it "ssh localhost"? If so, then I guess you have ssh server installed.

Do you access remote mashine with hostname or IP? If hostname, try using IP address instead. You can get them with

ifconfig wlan0

It works!

had to ssh turtlebot@turtlebot-0170 (and turtlebot as password) and ssh alan@alan-desktop (and my password).

I had been trying: ssh 172.16.1.22 (sample) I thought "Mervin" was just the IP.

Thanks all!
