|---|---|
| Connection refused | Check SSH service: Get-Service sshd |
| Permission denied | Verify SSH key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys or administrators_authorized_keys |
| Timeout | Check firewall rules, verify IP/port |
| Command not found | Use full path or check PATH on Windows |

- Use SSH keys instead of passwords
- Keep private keys secure (chmod 600)
- Consider using Tailscale for cross-network access
