A little more detail would be nice... I am going to assume that you left
the box at whereever it was when you went home (i.e. you didn't install
OpenBSD on a laptop, moved the laptop, and lost network connectivity on
the laptop - that's a different issue).
In a standard setup, the OpenBSD host would be behind NAT, in which case
connecting to it is going to take some more work. This is certainly the
case if the address starts with 192.168. or 10., or any of 172.168.0. -
172.168.15, or more genral when a site like 'whatsmyip.com' does not
agree with the output of 'ifconfig'.
If this is indeed the case, you might want to look into ssh(1)'s
ProxyCommand feature.
But it could be any number of other issues. Could you please post
network addresses (feel free to X out the last octet or somesuch), the
output of 'ssh -vvv' from the connecting machine (or whatever PuTTY's
equivalent is, if you use that), the output of 'ifconfig' and 'route -n'
on the newly installed box, the contents of /etc/resolv.conf, and the
output of 'dig www.google.com'?
Oh, and try 'ping'ing the newly installed machine.
