Ansible doesn't connect to server - Connection timed out

Question

I try connect to server using ansible. I have installed ubuntu server with openssh. I add public key on server and when I try connect to server using ssh it works:

ssh [email protected]

So I create ansible inventory file hosts

[dbservers]
192.16.0.14 ansible_ssh_port=22 ansible_ssh_user=ubuntu

And next I try run command:

ansible all -i hosts -m ping -vvvv

But when I run it i get an error:

<192.16.0.14> ESTABLISH CONNECTION FOR USER: ubuntu
<192.16.0.14> REMOTE_MODULE ping

I use the same identity file so why ansible can't connect to server?

your manual ssh line is for 92.168.xx.yy, while the Ansible line is for 192.68.xx.yy. — tedder42
And you alse have some 192.16.0.14. May be you want to sort out 192.16.0.14 vs. 92.168.0.14 vs. 192.168.0.14 first ? — leucos
tedder42 - you're right. It was my mistake. I search problem in wrong place. Thanks. — krynio

Maybe, the trouble is here:

ubuntu@**92.168.0.14**

[dbservers]
**192.16**.0.14 ansible_ssh_port=22 ansible_ssh_user=ubuntu

Here is different ip-addresses with different fors octets: 92.168 and 192.16
