I have 3 boxes at the planet in the 67.15.x.x IP range. They are all Linux/Ensim machines for production web hosting. I have APF firewall running on each box and configured to allow access from my home and work IP addresses. This setup has worked great for over two years now.

When I came into work today I realized that I cannot reach any of those boxes. I’m able to shell to my home router and then get in to all 3 boxes just fine. Also, if I disable the APF firewall on any of those boxes, I can get in from work. NOTHING HAS CHANGED RECENTLY. These ssh connections were all working as of Friday.

TP is not blocking me, nor is my company. I suspect something network related has changed at work which is having a strange effect on APF or IPtables. Networking is not really one of my strong points…is there anyone here who can take a guess at this one? Have I given enough information? I’m stumped and think this is really, really weird…
