I was using the Tamirsharp or SharpSSH library in a demo that I was doing. I was in a hotel lobby business area and I kept getting an connection error: "invalid server's version String". Google wasn't that helpful. I was defecating bricks trying to resolve this.
I couldn't possibly imagine what was wrong. I got a valid connection a few hours earlier from a different location. We remoted desktopped to the server, and everything was running fine. Our ssh daemon was cygwin d and we rebooted that for good measure.
Couldn't understand what the problem was, until it dawned on us. The hotel IT network was blocking the ssh/ssl ports. Moved away from the hotel network and everything worked fine. It did cause a few anxious moments though.
