I've been using Putty to connect via ssh to a virtual server I have where a couple of web pages and databases are stored - just for my own experimenting really.

I've tried to do the same today in work and it won't connect at all so I thought initially maybe it was a proxy issue.

However, I did a proxy test online and it appears that is not the issue. Also a command line entry shows no proxy is in place.

I was thinking maybe it was a firewall issue, such as the security people have blocked port 22? Do you think that may be the problem? Anything else I can check first?

Thanks
 
Oh and I can't even ping anything, it just times out, despite the fact I have full internet access through a browser.

I've searched through ipconfig /all and tried some of the different options such as default gateway and WINS server but with no success.
