Can you ssh -p 2222 from another computer/device on your LAN? (You may need
to use your internal IP address to do so.) If so then you at least know SSH
is working. If not, then I'd use netcat.
2222 is an unprivileged port (>1024) so if you shut down sshd you should be
able to run
nc -v -l -p 2222
on the server. Then from another computer/device run
nc -v [your ip] 2222
Anything you type into one should show up on the other after pressing return
(netcat is line buffered). If it doesn't then the debugging info netcat
outputs may be useful in diagnosing your issue.
What is the output of the following command with sshd running?
sudo netstat -pant
Kind regards,
Benjie.
