Adrian, is "machine" the server you are connecting to or is it the
router that does NAT?

If it is the machine where ssh server runs, can someone knowledgeable
explain if there is a way to achieve working config by tuning the NAT
machine only?

If it is the NAT machine (router, firewall), is eth0 the WAN interface
or the local LAN? 

BTW I am able to ssh with linux port of putty (without X11, though) and
scp with winscp over wine. How odd.

Good luck to everybody...
