I have the exact same Emacs configuration on a local and remote machine, and when I run M-x ansi-term or M-x term on each of them individually everything works great.

However, if I run any of these term emulators on Emacs on the local machine, and then I ssh into the remote machine, the prompt is not displayed correctly and my input doesn't work well either.

Any ideas what may be causing this?

    Do you have the same Emacs versions? Same distributions? Same locale settings (locale -a)? What do you mean by “not display correctly” and “doesn't work well”: describe precisely what you see and how it differs. – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Nov 26 '11 at 0:16

The value of the TERM environment variable should be the same on both systems.
