Thanks for the suggestions -sshd isn't wrapped in hosts.allow -tried both IP address and name -upped LoginGraceTime from 120 to 500 (ISDN dialup ISP) I'll mail sysadmin and see if ssh is allowed from outside the network. Did you mean portscan the network gateway... I'll see what sysadmin say first Thanks Goodwin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin D.
