I have ubuntu 10.04 and i am using ssh to use an iphone as a proxy server to route internet to my laptop. I got everything set up until i had to enter this sequence in the terminal(with the ip substituted) "ssh -ND 9999 root@YourIPAddress" and i got the error message "no route to host"

It means that the IP address is invalid.

There are a lot of possible causes for this problem.

  • you are using the wrong IP
  • your network is down
  • your router is down
  • your router is misconfigured
  • some router on the way to your machine is misconfigured

Have you tried pinging the IP?

thanks, it is most probable that there is some subtle setting that is causing the incompatibility since i got it to get a bit farther on a different iphone. – Edmund Sep 6 '10 at 22:55
