OfflineHere is my problem...
I am using Putty (v.0.53 now) for a long time and didn't had any problem until lately, when I tried to access my server from work !
The only thing I did, was to make the same settings as I was home.
Except this...
Home IP : 192.168..... bla bla
Work IP : 212.23..... bla bla
Of course I have forward ports from the router to the server .
Port : 22 (I have also tried ports : 5900 , 22122)
So, when I am inside my network at home everything works fine !
When I am at work I get this error...
Network error : Connection refused
I did some search and I found this...
This error means that the network connection PuTTY tried to make to your server was rejected by the server. Usually this happens because the server does not provide the service which PuTTY is trying to access.
Check that you are connecting with the correct protocol (SSH, Telnet or Rlogin), and check that the port number is correct. If that fails, consult the administrator of your server.
The last part was the most funny of all (... I am the administrator of the server !).
What the f*** is going on ?
Any suggestions ?
Thanks !!!
You don't have anything like a router blocking the port to the outside world? or the port not being forwarded to the server?

Eh, you're not trying to connect to 192.168.x.y, are you? At work a different computer would have that IP, since 192.168 means local network.

Is your work IP address in /etc/hosts.allow (on your server) for sshd?

1. Can you ping home from work?
2. Ionno if this is even possible, but is iptables somehow only allowing connections on port 22 from 192.168.*.*?

I haven't thought of that so... I haven't tried that yet !

iptables is allowing connections on port 22, but the question is, does SSH connections must be only on port 22 ???

The port which ssh uses is set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config the default is port 22.

Perhaps your workplace's firewall is blocking outgoing connections to your home.
