Connection reset by peer error using cygwin on windows to connect minix via ssh

i'm using minix on my virtualbox, I was able to connect to minix using putty yesterday, but today everything seems to fail. After this failing I tried to uninstall all the openssh and its etc/ssh directory and reinstall, tried other network adapters, tried using cygwin, and using pscp. But I simply can't connect to minix anymore. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm now using this command on cygwin:

$ ssh -p 3022 -v -v -v root@localhost

and the output is:

OpenSSH_6.3, OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013
debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0

You have to allow connections within your own subnet in the Cygwin /etc/hosts.allow. Add a line like this to your /etc/hosts.allow on the Cygwin machine:

ALL : 192.168.123.0/24 : allow

and in your case, you'll need to add the localhost like so:

ALL : localhost 127.0.0.1/32 [::1]/128 [::ffff:127.0.0.1]/128 : allow

The last line should have come with a stock Cygwin installation so it would be strange if you had to add it.

It matters where you enter it. You will have some DENY entries and you should put it above those, but it should work if you put it with all of the other ALLOW statements.
