Cause: netmask on the SERVER was wrong, resulting in the server trying <br>
to use the firewall as a router. Ping worked in this case, but ssh <br>
wouldn't. (netmask on server was 255.255.255.0, the correct mask is <br>
255.255.252.0).<br>
<br>
This was the result of my entering the netmask as a bit count, not as a <br>
bit field, and I was off by 2 bits.<br>
<br>
Fixed, now all works!<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace">Thanks for sharing the root cause of your issue!</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace">Netmask has tripped many of us.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace">-- Arun Khan</div></div></div>
