but all I get when I try to connect is:
21:08 barrowhillfarm:~> ssh bob@192.168.1.12 ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.12 port nnnn: Connection timed out
The desktop machine is configured to use a high numbered port nnnn rather than 22 as I was getting a lot of unwanted login attempts on port 22. However, I'm assuming that an ssh request from desktop to headless will try port 22 on the headless server.
is your server located in front or behind your router draw me a picture
Internet ---- Router ---- Desktop machine
---------- Headless server
The router is a Draytek 2800v, which has 4 ports on the LAN side. The two machines I am trying to connect together are connected to ports 1 & 2. In other words, they are on the same side of the router. They both have addresses on the LAN of the form 192.168.1.n
Does that help?
are you try to get to the server from the internet side or the desktop-server side ?
From the desktop server side
