Try a local ssh login to see if it rules out
network problems. As
in ssh localhost. or ssh -l <user>
localhost. If it is your

rule that out.
Yes that works ( ssh -l <user> localhost ).
So that means it has to
do with the network connections.
Not necessarily. It can be the client, too (your
PuTTY). You didn't
describe the error message in detail (perhaps it is
too unspecific,
GUI clients tend to be like that), but perhaps PuTTY
has some
"verbose" option you can activate. Then you may infer
whether there's
a hole in the net or whether just client and server
don't get along
with each other.
It is some years since I used PuTTY regularly, but I
seem to recall
that it didn't use OpenSSH-type keys and insisted on
generating its own
and providing a conversion to an OpenSSH key, which then
had to be
placed on the server. Is it possible this procedure may
have gone amiss
This has happened to me a couple of times. Regenerating
and converting solved the problem.
It may be wrong, but I'm using putty where putty does not
supply a username or a 'key'. I'm using it just as
a terminal (does someone have an alternate suggestion). I
agree, putty gets along with OpenSSH is a
'almost' fashion. If you convert your 'key' in the right
way. I have been using mine a long time just because
it takes a while to get it to work correctly.
What is your 'PasswordAuthentication'
setting? If this is 'No', you must use keys and so will see
errors similar to yours.

I'm going to keep your name in my book of experts.
Well, it turns out that all is not solved. As long as the linux
machine and and a Windows machine are isolated and each is running
a static
Not looked at your config file as yet but if it
works isolated, it works. The problem now is more likely a
different problem.
What version of ssh do you have installed?
Have you checked your log files to ensure that, when connected to
the internet, you are actually trying to connect to the correct
machine? If the machine you think you are connecting to really is
refusing connections, what are the logs saying?
