That's my first guess

Probably this, but you *are* correctly specifying the non-standard port in PuTTY right? I forget to do that on occasion when using ports other than 22...

So sad not to be trusted. Means I can't play as much :-(

Try using port 443... unless that's inbound blocked by your home ISP. If so, you can try to be sneaky over something like the IMAPS port 993.


Long thread to read before I suggest this, and I don't have time to read it all now, but....

....on occasion we have problems connecting via ssh. We also have problems on occasion with other services (ftp, mail, http, etc.). Usually this only happens when I'm setting up a new server and configuring a firewall, etc. When I'm not sure if a port is open and a service is listening on it, aside from nmap, I'll use telnet. telnet is a quick way to check any port for something. Example:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ telnet 12.184.45.104 22
Trying 12.184.45.104...
Connected to 12.184.45.104.
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.3
^]
telnet>

That told me that the ssh server on that machine is working on that port. Of course I can't do anything using telnet, but at least I know that sshd is running and listening on port 22.
