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
Bob
turn off your firewall on your server through yast app armor then try it
Brilliant! Thank you, Hans. Why do I always overlook the obvious?
Now turn the firewall on again- and just allow ssh to go through the firewall...
