ssh checksum error

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

I have not had the problem connecting to my laptop on the LAN (at work or 
at home) or to my home system from work. 
However, I have had some problems from my Windows system, but only on the 
initial connection using the freeware PuTTY to a system inside our LAN (but 
through a couple of firewalls).
