Your router will have two addresses, an internal one (192.168.1.40 I assume) and an external one that is not itn the 192.168.1.n range. I assume you are trying to run putty on a machine that is not on your local network, i.e. over the Internet. If so, you should be connecting to the external IP address, and you need to log onto your router and set ok for a way of setting up prot forwarding, and then forward port 22 packets that come into your router to 192.168.1.2 (your workstation). This wil only work if your ISP isn't blocking port 22. Steve -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
