SSH from Windows Terminal not working

[Raghav Sinha]

When trying to SSH into VM, I am getting an error.

This is my SSH debug log:

I have tried SSHing from JupyterHub and the end of the log now has these new statements:
debug1: Remote: /home/rsinha8_0000056965/.ssh/authorized_keys:1: key options: agent-forwarding port-forwarding pty user-rc x11-forwarding
debug1: Remote: /home/rsinha8_0000056965/.ssh/authorized_keys:1: key options: agent-forwarding port-forwarding pty user-rc x11-forwarding

debug1: client_input_global_request: rtype keepalive@openssh.com want_reply 1
debug1: client_input_global_request: rtype keepalive@openssh.com want_reply 1
channel 0: open failed: connect failed: Connection timed out
stdio forwarding failed
kex_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
Connection closed by UNKNOWN port 65535

Unsure why connection is timing out.

what is the Ip of the machine you are trying to ssh into. From the first post  i see 1.2.3.4 which is not a valid IP
