SSH to virtual box

Post by kelvinfrog »

Hey, I have been having issue with using shared folder (viewtopic.php?f=3&t=61199&p=285033&hilit=kelvin#p285033) and I decide to give up using shared folder and using SSH to connect to my PC.

So I followed this link (http://blog.ulyaoth.net/2013/04/13/how- ... t-machine/) to SSH to the Virtual Box, it was fine until the last step when I entered my comp IP address into putty and it said "Network error: Connection refused". Do you have any idea what goes wrong? Is there anything to do with the network setting? I am sure I entered the correct IP address of my own computer. I can see my own PC icon in the network folder inside the VB; when I click on the icon, I see username=qiime (which is the software I am using), domin=workgroup and ask for the password, so I enter qiime (which is the password) but nothing proceeds. I think it mostly likely has to do with the Network error. Please help. Thanks.
