I've had this computer for about 3 months now. I have been using putty to connect to various linux servers and networking equipment via ssh and telnet. Recently, I haven't been able to connect to anything for about a week. I've checked logs to try to troubleshoot my issue, and they suggest the connections aren't even getting to the servers I'm trying to connect to. I've now tried several different programs all with the same result. Putty's error is: "network error: permission denied" ssh from windows display's the following error: "operation not permitted" Poderosa's error: "failed to connect to the port 22 on SERVER" I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling programs, google searches, disabling UAC, and random registry tooling, though I'm sure my ability in the registry isn't up to par for the task. I have no firewalls up, nor virus protection software that would cause anything like this. I have a feeling it was caused by a few open source modification packages for putty I've recently tried out. Support for them are non-existent and I'm sure I can handle it via the registry, at the very least. I've resulted to using a terminal server for any administration tasks that need ssh or telnet. I would really like not to have to wipe and reinstall if not entirely necessarily. This is my last resort before doing so. Any help is much appreciated. |

I have no firewalls up, nor virus > protection software that would cause anything like this. Any router or wireless access point between you and the internet? These devices may also have a firewall or port forwarding enabled. How about your ISP? Have they made any changes in what ports they allow you to use for outbound connections? Can you make a connection on a non-priveleged port (i.e. > 1024)? > I have a feeling it was caused by a few open source modification packages > for putty I've recently tried out.

Although formal support may not be available, most open source projects are at least well documented about what they do. -- John (john@os2.dhs.org) ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |

As far as I know, PuTTY doesn't use any registry entries. Is the server actually running on the remote end? Has the configuration on the remote end changed, perhaps to disallow all but specific IP addresses? Can you connect to the server using other machines? -- John (john@os2.dhs.org) ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |
