10.25.12.255 is the broadcast address of the network your MBP is on (assuming that's where you ran the ifconfig command from). What is the IP address of the HP server you want to connect to?

Can you ping it?

Here is a screenshot of the target computer I'm trying to login to from my computer that might help. At the moment i'm having a hard time understanding what IP I'm suppose to use with ssh.

Also on my computer I type...

ssh name@IP

However, what goes in for name "Alien" or "root".

OK, so the IP address (internet - or inet - address) of the remote machine is 10.25.12.204.

Can you ping that IP address from your Mac?

If not, when you ssh root@10.25.12.204 does it refuse, or ask you a question, or ask you for a password?

How is your Mac connected to the network at your school?

Show the output of ifconfig -a from the terminal.

Error
I've entered Alien@127.0.0.1 and I get the following

Code:
The authenticity of host '127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is 35:3e...................
Are you sure you to continue connecting (yes/no)?

Then I hit enter and it says

Code:
Host key verification failed.

Forget "Alien" for now. And 127.0.0.1 is the loopback device, and has nothing to do with anything here.

Focus!

Open a Teminal.app on your Mac and show the output of ifconfig -a, as well as trying the ping and ssh commands and questions from my previous post.
