How to ssh remotely
 
Dear friends,
First of all, thanks for all the responses I have gotten to my first question on this forum.
I am still new to linux. Here is another question.
I tried to ssh remotely using ssh root@<IP address> and it kept failing and timing out. A friend suggested that it was because I was in a different network. Please help!
Kind Regards!

sometimes root is not allowed to ssh, try another user.

There are many reasons why this might fail.
I would start with:
  • Is the IP address reachable at all? Try ping ip-address.
    This is what your friend is suggesting.
  • Is the remote system set up for ssh access? This requires an ssh daemon or service running, and port 22 open in the firewall.

To build on what berndbausch said, it may also require port-forwarding to the configured in the router at the target location.
