I just installed proxmox and virtual server centos on it.
Both are on local newtork 192.168.1.X
On virtual server I have disabled and stopped firewalld, but still I can not SSH to this virtual server from my windows computer on the same local network 192.168.1.X.
What can block that?? Do I need something to setup on proxmox? Firewall on proxmox is disabled.
Also I can ssh from virtual server to another linux server outside on external IP.

I know this is dumb to mention but it did trip me up once, but is sshd installed (and started) on your virtual server? I don't know what image you are using but the containers by default don't have them so you need to install "yum install openssh-server" and afterwards "systemctl start sshd".
 
Did you verify that SSH logins with password are allowed? And its often not allowed to login as root. You should check your settings in "/etc/ssh/sshd_config". Especially the lines "ListenAddress", "Port", "PermitRootLogin" and "PasswordAuthentication".

I found out where is a problem. in GUI i put IP 192.168.1.100 when I type in terminal ifconfig I get address 192.168.1.20
When I SSH to 192.168.1.20 it works. I think somehow gui didn't update IP.
