Thanks for your answer.

Both are right now connected by cable, but I have checked the firewall 
settings. I also am running the connection through ssh via a pipe 
configured in the port-file. 
I can access the notebook from the server via ssh, and I can access the 
server via notebook. The issue seems to come up specifically after I 
already connect via the ssh pipe.
