Sounds like terminal emulation discrepencies between the two machines.
Are they both Linux boxes?
What happens when you say "echo $TERM" on each machine?
If they aren't both Linux boxes, it could be that the remote machine is
running a different version of vi. "Real" vi doesn't recognize arrow commands
normally; vim (VI iMproved), which is the vi that ships with Red Hat and most
other flavors of Linux, can sort of spoil you that way. ;)
If that's the case, and if you don't have the liberty of running vim on the
remote machine, you may be stuck with using hjkl navigation.
