[techtalk] Getting a computer on a network.

[Tania M. Morell]

Good news!, I can get to my work computer from home!


Here's the wierd thing. After dialing in to work, I
can telnet into it from any telnet client using the ip
but if I ssh into one of the servers first and THEN
try to telnet or ssh into it, it won't go. Maybe my
puter won't trust the servers?

I can ssh to any server (there are dozens) from my
puter but I can't telnet to my puter from the
servers..  
I'm thinking it has something to do with how security
is set up but I don't know.
