Hi all.
Here's the setup: I work for a company with multiple sites. There are a couple of sites where we want to closely monitor network traffic, so I built a TC box with TShark and OpenSSH installed, which we then cloned (after making sure everything worked). The boxes have two ethernet jacks - the one on the motherboard, and a second one on a card - one jack is for SSH, the other is for TShark to monitor. In the IT shop, when I fully plug in the computer, it works fine.
Here's the problem: When I plug the computer in at a remote location, I can connect to it via SSH for a few minutes, but I inevitably get an error message from PuTTY that says "Software caused connection to abort". If I try to reconnect, I get a second error message that says "Connection Refused".
Here are my questions: 1) What the heck's going on here? 2) Will there be logs that I can look at to figure out if something's misconfigured? If so, where are they? 3) How come it works in the IT shop, but not on location? (Note: I can't SSH into the computer even when I'm at the same location, unless it's at the shop. I have not tried to SSH into a computer at the shop from elsewhere.)
Thanks in advance!
