I can't imagine that bastile does not set up firewalling. What does ipchains -L show? I guess it could also be an iptables setup I don't know the list command for iptables but I would probably try iptables -L :) I use ssh -v alot to troubleshoot on the client side but I don't know if putty has a verbose option or not. What you CAN do though is to stop sshd on the remote box, service sshd stop and start it by hand with the debug option. sshd -d will start sshd and leave it in the terminal rather than disconnecting into a deamon then it spits a bunch of stuff out to the terminal when a connection occurs. This will at least tell you if putty is even making it to the sshd process on the box. If you don't see anything, take a REAL hard look at firewall stuff. If so let us know what it says and we'll figure it out.
