ssh connection refused

I am running Redhat8.0. When I try to ssh from work to my home computer I get a "connection refused" error. I use to be able to do it before with 7.2. I cant even telnet in.(not that I would want to) =) I checked and sshd is running. I even tried to ssh to myself at home and got the same error. If I try using my internal IP to ssh to myself it works. But I still cant seem to do it from work or home using my internet IP. Thanks

Sounds like you have a firewall blocking port 22.b Check iptables --list

(Side note: Why do you use the long option names, genlee? Why not iptables -L?)

Because he probably doesn't know what iptables is or what -L would mean so if I use the long options, atleast he has some clue as to what is going on.

I kind of suspected that. It's not really like you, though.

I am in the giving mood today :D

Ok I did iptables --list and this is what I got...

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Thanks

OK, that's strange. Can you send the output of netstat -antp, too?

Are you sure you have sshd running?
