    I am trying to access a remote IPCop box (and also a SME box behind it (SME is a
    customised Redhat distribution)). I seem to be able to log on (according to the
    log) to IPCop and SME, but it won't execute the shell, in either situtation, and
    then terminates with: "Network error: Software caused connection abort". However
    the people on the remote site can logon to the same accounts without any problems.

    I have tried to force SSH1 as well as SSH2, the tail of the logs are attached.

    I am wondering if the ADSL Routers do have something to do with this, but I
    cannot find what. Can anyone shed any light on this, or give me any ideas what
    to do?

    Thank you very much,

    Kees Vonk

    Setup:
    ======
    Local site:
    WinXP --- IPCop --- IPCop --- Netgear ADSL Router (DG834) --- internet

    Remote site:
    SME --- IPCop -- Dlink ADSL Router (DSL502T) --- internet

    I am using PuTTY 0.54 on my XP machine.
    All IPCop boxes are 1.3 patched upto patch 9.
    IPCop uses SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.1p1
    SME uses SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.7.1p1
