Re: [LUG] Inet address

With the "NAT" connection you had previously, your host computer is acting (for the virtual guests only, I would presume) as a router. As such, in order to SSH in to your guest machine you would most likely need to establish some level of "port forwarding". I see no reason why it can't be done, but in your case the easiest route would be to change to "bridged"... which you've done. :)

Thanks. I followed Grant's advice and changed the network to Bridged.
Then I ran ifconfig again and now have an inet address starting with
192.168 as expected.

My reason for asking is that I am starting to play with openssh. This
worked when I tried to log on to a second computer. However, when I
tried to connect to the VBox distro it did not work. Hence the query.

So I will try again,

thanks again

Follow up to the above. I can now connect to the VBox distro using SSH in a terminal. Great. I have now installed putty and I must see if I can get that to work.

Thanks

Neil
