Look at what changed between the time it worked and when it stopped working and change that back. Unfortunately, there is almost no information in your email that can actually be used to diagnose the problem. Have you ensured that it doesn't work from other locations? Perhaps you putty installation got corrupted, or maybe an intervening ISP suddenly decided to block ssh. Do an nmap scan to see if ssh is being filtered. Try logging in from a closer server to see if the sshd on the server is still working. At least narrow it down to whether putty, the sshd, or the network is the problem. Ethereal would be a good tool as well. HTH -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
