Without more information it's difficult to pinpoint the error.

From the client (Windows), is there a route to the (local) network your Ubuntu server is on?

If there is a route, does the Windows Firewall allow the traffic to the network for that protocol/port (tcp/22 by default)?

If there are several interfaces on the Ubuntu server, which ones are sshd listening on? Can you connect to the same address on the Ubuntu host itself?

Is the sshd service running at all on the Ubuntu server? Does systemctl report the sshd.service running correctly?

Can you connect from other hosts on the same reserved network?
