Not seeing colors in emacs over SSH

[d11wtq]

Hopefully it's OK to ask this here.

I have installed emacs on one of the Archlinux boxes I program on at work. It's got a lisp extension installed so that I can work on my code remotely with syntax highlighting.

It seems to work fine fromn within the intranet at work... I can SSH to the box and open emacs in a terminal and edit my code with ansi colors.

It seems that when I do this from home (the main purpose of it) I get no colors though.

I'm not sure what the issue is. I thought it could be something to do with the .bash_profile but I dont know what.

From work I can SSH directly from my workstation to the server. But from home I have to SSH to a gateway server and then from there into the Archlinux box. I've actually gone so far as to copying my .bash_profile and .bashrc from my gentoo box onto BOTH the gateway server (Redhat) and the Archlinux box.... it's changed the DIR_COLORS (I copied /etc/DIR_COLORS too) but I still get no color in emacs

Anyone have any clues? -- Is there any setting in ssh or sshd that may cause this? Color seems to be showing fine when I run the ls command

Thanks guys.
