No - I think you need to do some more reading.  192.168.1.n is an
address on your internal network - and cannot be reached from the
internet.  Your router will have two addresses, an internal one
(192.168.1.40 I assume) and an external one that is not itn the
192.168.1.n range.

I assume you are trying to run putty on a machine that is not on your
local network, i.e. over the Internet.  If so, you should be connecting
to the external IP address, and you need to log onto your router and set
ok for a way of setting up prot forwarding, and then forward port 22
packets that come into your router to 192.168.1.2 (your workstation).

This wil only work if your ISP isn't blocking port 22.
