sshd help configure ssh server

[nitecreeper04]

I am trying to configure my Red Hat 8 box to allow me to connect to it using ssh from my windows 2000 pro box. I only have one NIC with the IP of 192.168.100.30 and I binded sshd to it at port 22. When I run the sshd daemon it runs with no errors. I can connect to it using ssh from the local machine but when I try to connect to it from my w2k box it won’t allow me to. I have checked the sshd_config file and the ssh_config file and didn't see anything strange.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have included the files below

Does the Red Hat box have a firewall running? Try /sbin/service iptables stop (or something like that -- I'm not entirely sure on the Red Hat-specific commands like service) if so, or if you're not sure.

Yeah, be sure your firewall isn't blocking it.
