Hello, Here's more information. I did a basic install and I had some trouble with the network (it recognized my wireless card but had trouble doing a DHCP on the ethernet card).
I can access the machine via sftp, ssh, and ping it if I am on the same subnet. From home, I can neither ping, nor ssh, nor sftp. I know the machine is still alive because I can access via another machine (i.e. home->linux_on_same_subnet->OpenBSD). The OpenBSD machine can access the internet. I went to http://www.whatismyip.com and saw the IP of the ethernet card. It seems that there is some filtering in place. This is strange because I did not play with pf or anything like this. I tried to search the internet but it is difficult to find the appropriate google keywords. Also, the FAQ (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/index.html) is not helpful so far.
