Ssh: No route to host

Question

I have two laptops having Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I have connected both of them to same wireless network.Now I have installed ssh server on Ubuntu.Now I am trying to access other laptop's ( say B) desktop but error is coming like

    Ssh:connect to host 192.168.0.102 port 22: No route to host

I am using following command

    ssh user@192.168.0.102

The following is the output for ifconfig

"Destination Host Unreachable" suggests a route issue. Could you give the output of netstat -rn ? — monitor35, Apr 06 '16 at 12:00
@monitor35 now I am able to ping other system.But new problem is that when I enter password,after running the command ssh@192.168.0.102,it says PERMISSION DENIED,please try again — vipin megotia, Apr 06 '16 at 12:11
check the parameter PermitRootLogin in the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config . It must be yes so : PermitRootLogin yes . Exit and reload the service /etc/init.d/ssh reload — monitor35, Apr 06 '16 at 15:11

Maybe you need to disable the firewall ... You can check if the ssh-server is working and listening the network by using nmap (need to install it first):

apt-get install nmap -y

nmap -p22 192.168.0.102

You need to see something like that which indicate that the port 22 (ssh port) is open:

root@srkv12b3:/home/monitor# nmap  -p22 192.168.19.4
Starting Nmap 7.01 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2016-04-06 11:08 CEST
Nmap scan report for 192.168.19.4
Host is up (0.000033s latency).
PORT   STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open  ssh

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 5.79 seconds

Following output i got: Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2016-04-06 15:16 IST Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -Pn Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 0.44 seconds — vipin megotia, Apr 06 '16 at 09:47

Ssh: No route to host
