From the commandline, this works:
ssh office
However, C-x C-f /ssh:office:
simply freezes and eventually times out. That C-x C-f
syntax works fine for all the servers our sysadmin has configured, which makes me think that one of two things is the issue:
1) Something is conflicting with the fact that I use similar emacs configs in both places (remote office machine and the laptop I'm trying to access it with)
2) Tramp requires some different treatment (ports?) than does plain CLI ssh
I tried (setq tramp-verbose 10)
but when I have the timeout, my tramp error buffer is empty. Any ideas?

s ssh (i.e. what exact command line it uses)? It may be that when you then run that exact command from the command line, it will hang there too, and you can experiment to find out why. – Croad Langshan Dec 15 '18 at 17:27emacs -Q
, apply(setq tramp-verbose 10)
, and try to connect. If it still doesn't work, write a Tramp bug report, appending the Tramp debug buffer. – Michael Albinus Dec 16 '18 at 10:07
