  <boggle>You're telling someone to go online and test their ssh client's
connection with their firewall and antivirus down?</boggle>

  Is this some kind of really mean practical joke?

  Better advice would be to try a *different* firewall, not none at all.

  Anything by Norton is very bad news, because all their software is
hideously bloated, installs hooks into way too many corners of your system,
and destabilises everything.  That goes for their AV and antispam stuff as
well as their PFW.

  Something lower impact, like Zone Alarm or Agnitum or any of the free PFWs
should do.  And I always recommend Grisoft AVG (free edition) as a good
low-intrusiveness antivirus.


    cheers,
