Now, the correct questions to ask would be: * Have you checked the backend of the auth.log on the server

I don't understand that. What is the backend? If you mean /var/log/ auth.log there is nothing in there relating to SSH.

* Have you tried running ssh with the -vvvv option to get lots of
  shiny debug output

No. I had forgotten to do that. As I'm testing at the moment via my neighbours router I'll have to wait until tomorrow evening to retry.

* Is this the same laptop both inside and outside the network

Yes the very same.

* Have you got a special ~/.ssh/config entry for that desktop

I don't understand that either. What sort of 'special' entry? I have the following files in ~/.ssh on the server (desktop):

authorized_keys identity.pub id_rsa.pub identity id_rsa known_hosts

With that we might be able to give a slightly better answer and not stab around in the dark.

Thanks for the help.
