It might be useful to connect to your HDA using SSH from another machine on your network.
For example, it would be easier to run the [[Network_troubleshooting|Interactive Network Troubleshooter]] that way, since you'll be able to copy and paste commands and results to and from the terminal window while following the troubleshooter instructions.
Or, if physical access to your HDA is complicated, it might be easier to just SSH into it than to try to work on it physically.
Here's how to SSH into your HDA.
=All Platforms=
Upon connecting, you'll be asked for your username and password.
Enter the username and password you created when you installed Fedora.
Once logged in, if you need to execute commands as root, execute this command, and enter the root password when prompted:<br/>
<code>su -</code>
=Windows=
==Install Putty==
Download the following file from the [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/%7Esgtatham/putty/download.html PuTTY download] page and save it on your Windows system, e.g. on the desktop:
[http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe]
This file is a portable executable. That is: it does not install anything, but run from where they are saved.
==Run PuTTY==
Start PuTTY by double-clicking its executable file. You are now in the category Session (see the tree on the left side of the screenshot). Enter your HDA IP address under ''Host Name (or IP address)'', enter 22 under ''Port'' and select SSH under ''Protocol''. The click the ''Open'' button.

=Mac OS X=
Use the Finder to navigate to Applications : Utilities.
Start the Terminal.app application in this directory.
You'll now see a terminal window. In there, type the following command:
<code>ssh username@ip_address</code>
Replace ''username'' with your Fedora username, and ''ip_address'' with your HDA' IP address.
Example:
<code>ssh joe@192.168.0.2</code>
=Linux=
Open a terminal from the menus (System menu maybe?)
In the window that appears, type the following command:
<code>ssh username@ip_address</code>
Replace ''username'' with your Fedora username, and ''ip_address'' with your HDA' IP address.
Example:
<code>ssh joe@192.168.0.2</code>
