1st off I'm very new to Ubuntu and Linux in general. However After playing around with a Raspberry Pi I was able to convert my old laptop in a server. Its been running great but the built in ethernet port is hit and miss and I tend to lose connectivity.
After doing some research I found a USB to ethernet adapter and it seemed my problems were solved. No connectivity drops and Plex/Ubooquity can be accessed remotely. One night I tried to remote in and connection was refused. I assumed it was configuration related and purged/re-installed both openssh-server and noip with no luck.
I can ssh on network, and reach plex, ubooquity etc. remotely. But remote SSH is refused. But if I move the ethernet cable back to the default ethernet port it works perfectly! Any ideas? I feel its something simples I've overlooked.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Per Terrance's recommendation I check port forwarding configuration and noticed the adapter and ethernet had different IPs. Once I enabled port forwarding for the ethernet adapter I was again able to connect via remote SSH.
