can not access global zone

hi ,
I am trying to access my machine at work with PuTTY and I keep obtaining "access denied"... and i can't access the global zone but i can login on any local zone and then from there i can login using "ssh -l root Ip command " command....... whats the problem , If anybody have idea about this the write here ..
Thanks in advance......

Just a guess, but perhaps there are firewall rules to prevent external users from gaining direct access to the global zone?

Although, permitting root to ssh from a local zone into the global zone isn't what I'd recommend. In a secure world, you'd ssh into the global zone as a real user, then su/sudo to root.

I'm assuming you are talking about Solaris zones.

Post "ifconfig -a" and "netstat -rn" output from the global zone.
