Suddenly I cant SSH to my phone anymore I never installed anything new not even tried to connect for a week or so... When I tried the ssh to the phone it just hangs forever with the error message "host is down". I tried to ping my IP address same thing...unreachable ! Jailbroke it again with ZipPhone no problem, still no luck, uninstalled SSH then installed it again with iIndependance, (successfuly) still no luck there

Any ideas guys? I'm on my wits end already

what's the ip address of you phone and ip address of your PC/MAC.
same subnet mask ?

try resetting your router and resetting the network settings for your phone

thanks guys! I managed to connect from the computer at work. When I connected to the wi-fi network thou, it gave me different IP for the phone....is that normal?
Otherwise it worked, gotta figure out whats conflicting with it at home...

The IP addy your iPhone has is given by the router's DHCP server. So yeah, it's normal to have different IP on different wifi network. This is why I suggested rebooting your router. More often than not, a reboot will solve most network problems

thanks man, it worked! I just rebooted my airport and the cable modem

no problem dude. I'm glad your problem was easy to fix
