Fixing Connection Problems

We're running a firewall on our server.  Our policy is to deny all IP
addresses except for those that we explicitly allow.

So I will need to tweak the firewall configuration to allow you to connect
in from home.

If you try to connect to the server and do not see a "username" prompt
in Putty and/or a message box is displayed that reads:

           "server unexpectedly closed network connection"

Please do the following:

1)  Make a note of your IP address by going to: whatismyip.com

2)  Send me an email with your router's external IP address so I can
config it into the system.

NOTE:  Please do NOT run ipconfig or any similar network configuration
program to find your IP.  These utilities will display the IP address of
your PC on your home LAN.  That is NOT what I need!  Instead, I need the
IP address of the external interface of your router.  So again, the proper
thing to do is to go to:   whatismyip.com.
