virtualbox.org

Hi all,

Hi All,

I am facing the problem that i am not able to ssh from windows7 host to OEL5 guest (installed on VBox)

ipaddress for host machine :- 192.168.56.3

ip address for guest machine :- 192.168.56.101

subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0 (for both machine)

It used to work fine 2 months ago but i had to reinstall the VB machine and i don't know what went wrong this time.

I am able to ping guest machine ip from host but not able to ping host ip from guest machine.
Entry of guest machine ip has updated in windows host file.

Please help me, i really need it done asap

Hosts firewall?

Thanks for the reply.

Well firewall on both the machine are off.

Other info is as below :-

Network selected in virtual box:- Host-only networking
SSh status :- running on port 22
rpm info :- Rpm like openssh-server, portmap, xinetd all are installed and working fine.

I/O APIC is enabled in virtual box.

While try to connect trrough putty it gives "Network error: Connection refused" error

Please someone help me.... i really need to transfer some files to server

Connection refused" error

This means it is a guest issue since it is seeing the request and refusing it. Not much we can do about that. Have you tried to setup a VirtualBox shared folder? Or you could use a thumb drive.

Thanks Perryg for your reply !!!!

Well the issue is resolved . There was some problem with VB adaptor.

Now I have transfer the nessary files to server

thanks again
