   Is it possible the #ssh login trouble I was having was caused by using public access wifi? Would they block port 22? !ubuntu

     @nathaniel73 It is quite common to block all traffic that is not http or https on free wifi networks.

     @ccm thanks for that It didn't occur to me at the time. I'll have to try it again from a mates house.

     @nathaniel73 My college actually blocks port 22 on its public wifi. Many public hotspots only allow 80 and 443.

     @nathaniel73 try running nmap and see if 22 is open

     @nathaniel73 nmap just does a portscan. You might want to limit the ports it scans, or you can trigger firewalls and get blocked :P
