internal network layout really doesn't/shouldn't matter for ssh ..

try using verbose login:
ssh -l <username> -v <hostname>
or what i do:
ssh -l <username> -v -C <hostname>
(turns on verbose and compression, i do this out of habbit more then anything)
most cases the causes for not being able to do RSA is permissions. on my
systems i make sure everything inside of ~/.ssh is chmod'd 400 and the
~/.ssh directory itself is chmod'd 500. if permissions are bad then the
system won't allow you to use RSA. of course you don't have to have
your permissions that strict, but they do have to be tight. maybe
the man pages or documentation has info on the minimum level of
permissions required to do RSA.
one of these days i will get around to asking the question that made
me subscribe to this list in the first place...!:)
