I have a Ubuntu server in one of our office Local Area Network. I want to connect my server within the LAN via Ubuntu terminal on another PC. I used below command to connect,

ssh dush@10.1.4.113

But after few days it's IP address was changed because of it's dynamic. Now I couldn't reach the server physically and I know only its username ("dush"), old dynamic IP address ("10.4.1.113") and password.

How can I connect to the server?

Is there a way to connect without current IP address?

Either you need to know the IP address, or you have to have a DNS server that knows the IP address. If it is a server that needs to be connected to, why does it have a dynamic address and not a static one? – Amadan Oct 07 '19 at 07:44
I not set IP as static, it has default settings. So it change when after reconnect to the network. – Dushyantha Wijesinghe Oct 09 '19 at 09:50
I know you didn't, or you wouldn't be having this problem. – Amadan Oct 09 '19 at 09:51
So, is there a way to solve that? – Dushyantha Wijesinghe Nov 05 '19 at 06:17
Yes. Assign the server a static IP address. – Amadan Nov 05 '19 at 06:21
