Putty not working

[Tony Aluknavich]

Hi all:

I have TightVNC working between work (XP Box) and home (XO Box).  My home
machine is behind a Linksys router and I have No-IP_DUC as my dynamic IP
host. At work we have a router with open ports behind a hardware firewall. I
can use the VNC Viewers to see both machines with no problem.  I installed
Putty to try to use the ssh feature.  When I try to connect to my home
machine using ssh through port 59xx (my open port), I seem to have a session
connected but all I see is a black screen with a small green block that is
to the left side of the screen. Nothing happens beyond that.  When I go to
close the screen, Putty asks me if I want to close this open session.  Does
anybody have and experience with this situation?  Am I missing something
with the Putty setup?  Thanks in advance for your help!

Tony
