Get the IP block of the system(s) from which you are remotely adminning the server into hosts.allow with something like this at the top: all: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 : allow This is a sample netblock that makes sure hosts on my/the* LAN have access to the machine....figure out the netblock of your ISP at the home, office, or home office, and try, try, again.....
