I have made an update to CentOS5.7 and since then I can't access by SSH to the machine. I have disable the Firewall and I have the "sshd" service active.

I got the following when I do this from the local machine(localhost):

$ ssh [email protected]
ssh: connect to host 192.168.229.136 port 22: Connection refused

$ ssh [email protected]:22
ssh: 192.168.229.136:22 Temporary failure in name resolution

Can someone give me a clue on how to solve this problem?

check, if the machine really runs sshd on port 22:

# netstat -4nl | grep ":22"

and if the machine really has the ip 192.168.229.136:

# ifconfig

and if the machine can be pinged from where you want to access it:

# ping 192.168.229.136

your 2nd command is faulty because it means `connect to the machine with the name '192.168.229.136:22' (and since your dns-resolver is not able to map that name to a valid ip you got 'temporary failure in name resolution'). the flag to set the port is '-p'.
