Rich,
I'm a Fedora/RedHat/SUSE kind of guy. We use systemctl to control
services. What ever way you control your services, please check that
your sshd daemon is in fact running.
Also check that you do not have some firewall on your systems getting in
your way.
Is your router filtering out or blocking your requests?
Is your router functioning as your local DNS? Is it dealing out the
correct addresses for your systems?
You always present such interesting problems. I'm sure you would rather
not, but thanks.
Ken
