More detailed info on the issue will be much more helpful, but let's just work on possible assumptions here. It seems that you work computers are behind the firewall, since you can't ssh into your work computer. If you have NATed computers at work, forward the incoming traffic on the port 22 to your internal NATed computer's port 22, assuming that the sshd is using the default port 22. Of course, you'll have to allow all traffic coming into port 22. If your work computer has its own designated IP addr., just allow all incoming traffic on port 22 (for your computer's IP addr only) in the firewall's configuration. There can also be other possibilities that are causing this issue, but I think this should take care of the problem. Please feel free to edit/fix the solutions that I've given above. good luck, Naydoe Maung To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
