Are you sure sshd is running at home and that you've opened the port on the firewall?

Try this when you are home an your local box

netstat -pant

this will tell you what tcp ports are running
should say something like
0.0.0.0:22 tcp Listening
sshd

Then if it is and you have a router at home you should statically assign your linux box (the one you want to ssh to) then port forward port 22 in your rounter to the static IP of your linux box. BTW you Linux box can have a static IP of 192.168.blah.blah

Let me know if I need to clarify this for you.

what will the LAN Port be?
and the public port be?

i did leave the hardware one off 2day but ill configure it anyway

[adrenaline]

Lan and wan ports are 22 by default.

If it is set up in your firewall and or router then it should be working. DId you change the configuration at all. It should work with no conf changes by default as long as you are logging in as a real user in the box.

Andy,
I just thought of something. Find out if you are not allowing the IP address of the computer you are trying to ssh in with. Maybe you firewall rules are such that it won't allow any unless you allow it. I mean maybe you need to specifically add the ip as allowed to use port 22.
Check it out and let me know.
Also in a term in root check our /var/log/secure

cd /var/log
tail -f secure  #tail -100 secure will give you the last 100 lines in secure

ctrl c gets you out of the log

it could be the school have alot of things locked
prob this 2
i have no permissions to open ports or anything
they get their conection staright from the council and they dont really have any say on what should be locked or unlocked
dont matter
ill maybe keep it till uni or collage
till then ill try work an ftp server

I would dobt that the school would stop outbound ssh. It is possible but doubtful. If you can get the your box but it errors out that tells me that you can ssh just fine. If you are getting denyed then look at the logs and find out what the ip is and allow that ip in the firewall and you should be good to go
