Windows server core ssh problem

[NavikPablo]

Hello, I'm quite new in this topic. I have installed Windows Server standart 2019 core, and I have tried to add rules to firewall using cmd and sshd services through Powershell by following countless totorials on youtube. It seems I have succeded, BUT I can't connect to my server the normal way (using cmd command "ssh administrator@"Myipv4adress"", or using Putty), I only can connect to my server through my android phone, which is quite strange. Also I have checked if OpenSSH client is installed on my other windows pc.

Did you forward port 22 in your router to the IP adress of the server?

Try telnet on a windows machine to that ip adress. Seems like it's still blocked somewhere

"Could not open connection to the host, on port 22:"  Connect failed. Maybe you could point me to the right step by step guide? In case I have missed something.

Have you completed the broad steps in this guide? SSH on Windows Server 2019 - Microsoft Tech Community 

 

You may use a different version of Windows, unfortunately I don't know much about Windows but you might have to either:

• Install an openSSH Daemon on your Windows server
• Allow OpenSSH through the Firewall.

 

Telnet is generally something people use to test if a port is open, you need to ensure that you telnet to port 22 though because that will test the port. Note - do not actually use Telnet for administration, just for testing port connectivity. 

 

If it's not open, run netstat on the server by executing the below command within an administrative CMD prompt:

netstat -p TCP -a -b | findstr "22"

That will just filter all the netstat output to show TCP connections for Port 22.  You'll be looking for a line that shows your computer is LISTENING on Port 22. 

 

Once you've allowed SSH through the Windows Firewall you should be able to connect via an OpenSSH Client.

I did everything in the guide again, but still it doesn't solve the issue. I have tried netstat command and I have got something like this:

TCP 0.0.0.0:22     WIN-5L9MDF9HL08:0 LISTENING

TCP 192.168.1.69:49676    40.125.122.151:https TIME_WAIT

 

And when I'm connected with my phone I get this:

TCP 0.0.0.0:22     WIN-5L9MDF9HL08:0 LISTENING

TCP 192.168.1.69:22    RedmiNote8Pro0RedmiN:50189 ESTABLISHED

Your pc seems to be on a different port (49676)
