Check the firewall settings first.
 
If the notebook is using a wireless connection and the server is using a
wired connection to your router, the router may have a security option
enable to prevent wireless connections from seeing other connections,
including the wired connection. That security option must be disabled in
the router. The terminology may refer to connection sharing or similar.
It's been a long time since I had to deal with it.

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.
