Linux guest and scp to other host on network (not VM)

Post by JusTiCe8 »

Hi,

I encounter some issues with VB (1.5.6) networking under a winxp host with a Debian VM.
I'm on a network with some physical hosts, and using scp from guest to another host through a NAT interface leads to data transfert stall, often but not always, especially for "big enough" files (> 50 Kb).

Note that it's only happen with VB, a colleague use a Linux host and have no such issues with scp.

(NAT Networking in VB seems to be always faulty :(, before 1.5.6, VM freeze completely randomly on network activity, now it seems to just get this issue).

Is someone else encounter such issue ? is it a know issue ?

Regards.
