Describe the Bug
I have several nodes on my local network that I can ssh into without issue. Cursor initially could ssh into 1 of my machines but suddenly begin failing with “no route to host”.
I have removed all remote node .cursor_server directories. I have even wiped all cursor from my mac and re-installed. All to no avail.
