I have tried both version 1 & 2. there is a box for Remote command is there a command I should enter here? And On preferred encryption algorithm I have the following options.
  3DES, Blowfish, and DES. There is also a check box for Imitate SSH MAC bug in commercial <=v2.3.x should this be checked.

There are a lot of different settings in PuTTY.  Have you tried various settings?  What protocol version are you using?

  Sorry to keep beating this thread to death but I am still have trouble.
   
  I have port 19-23 forwarded on my router. I went to dyndns and set up a dns. I can ping the ip remotely (from work) but when I try to do a TELNET session I get a connect failed message. I also have putty installed on my win box at work and when I try ssh or telnet from the win box I get Unable to open connection: connect(); unknown error.

  What type of access do you need? A terminal window, or a full X session, 
or something else? For just a terminal window, i'd recommend 
downloading PuTTY (Google for "putty" and it should be in the first 2 
hits) and using it to SSH to your Linux box. You'll need to make sure 
your Linux box has a routable IP, or forward the SSH port (TCP/22) from 
a routable IP to the Linux box.

X is a bit more complicated; i've never needed to go from MS Windows to 
X Windows. There are projects such as Cygwin that will let you set up 
an X server on Windows and then from there you'd be able to connect to 
the Linux box and run applications. A possibly easier solution would be 
to run VNC on the Linux box and then connect from Windows with a VNC 
viewer. I've done that before, though with Linux or OS X as the client 
rather than Windows. It gives you a full desktop, and is much more 
responsive than X over SSH. To use VNC to go from one Linux box to 
another, get SSH working, then on the server do "vncserver :2 -geometry 
1024x768 -depth 8" and on the client "vncviewer -via 
localhost:1". When done you can stop the server with "vncserver 
-kill :1" on the server. I would think that using Windows as the client 
would be similar, though the client command may differ slightly.
