[GTALUG] SSH Hangs

[Tim Carroll]

I had this same problem.
Up until a week or two ago port 22 worked fine.
Then internally 22 was ok but externally it failed. (connection denied
error).
I even called Bell but they denied changing anything.
As soon as I changed everything too port 2222 it all worked fine again!
