Edit: problem solved, post simply for historical purposes

So, here's what's happening. I'm running ubuntu server edition on one of my pc's (i've tried both 9.04 and karmic alpha 4, but currently running karmic). during my multiple installs, i've installed openssh server 'package' alongside both virtualization server and LAMP server (never all 3 at the same time).

That said, the server itself is an AMD 3000+ barton w/Abit NF7 mobo and a gig of generic ram. I also have about 4 PCI NIC's installed (varying kinds, just what i pulled from old pc's) and the onboard NIC.

So here's the issue:

I'm sitting on my ubuntu desktop machine and attempt to SSH to my server. Immediately upon bootup, I'll get this:

Code:
$ ssh 10.11.11.2
[email protected]'s password: 
Linux black 2.6.28-15-server #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 18 19:30:06 UTC 2009 i686

user@black:~$ Read from remote host 10.11.11.2: Connection reset by peer
Connection to 10.11.11.2 closed.


After this, I have to cancel out of the SSH because it never responds.

Code:
$ ssh 10.11.11.2
^C
$


now, what i can do, is get on the local console of the server and ssh to localhost. This doesn't cause any errors. even doing "ssh -vvv localhost" doesn't show anything wrong as it doesn't disconnect me.


********************************

so, as i was typing this, i figured out the issue, so I will still post this for others who may be having a similar issue may benefit from this information. The problem turned out to be a bad NIC on my motherboard. I used a different NIC and SSH appears to be working fine now.
