SSH Connection Issues with latest updates (6.3.337 & 6.3.339)
Posted: Sat 24 Jan 2015 02:25
This started happening after I upgraded to 6.3.337 earlier this week, although with this version I was able to connect after rebooting my computer a few times.
With 6.3.339 I am unable to connect at all, no matter what I try.
The error message is always the same (actual IP address omitted):
Can't connect to SSH server on 'x.x.x.x':
Server did not respond within the specified timeout interval
---
I have tested with MySQL Workbench, same connection auth method, same SSH key file, and it works. This is our production SQL server. It's definitely up and running otherwise I'd have a deluge of customers complaining.
I found where I can download previous versions and downgraded to 6.3.330. When I uninstalled 6.3.339 I clicked every check-box to remove ALL settings.
Re-added my server connection by hand in 6.3.330 and tested again, SAME ERROR!
This is where it gets weird:
I go to Help > Check for updates...
After about 20-30 seconds I get this error:
Product update failed:: Unable to connect to the remote server
I'm at a loss. What is going on??
I'm up the creek without a paddle and I need to work! Please help!!

Notes:
-Windows 7 64bit.
-My internet works just fine.
-I do not use a proxy to connect to the internet.
-I get the same error in the office or at home.
-I tested in the office with Ethernet and wifi connections without success.
-At one point while troubleshooting this problem I clicked "test connection" and it said connection successful! I then closed the "modify connection..." dialog box and tried to connect to the server and it failed again with the same error above.
-I recently installed the latest windows updates and am fully up to date with the latest from M$ as of this writing.
-Rebooted multiple times.
-Deleted my home wifi network from "manage wireless connections" and re-added it. No change in error message.
