ssh destination:
--VM : Oracle VM Virtual Box 4.3.20
--Linux installed on VM: Fedora 22 (IP: 10.0.2.15 )
ssh source:
--Windows 7 Desktop
I installed putty on Windows 7 Desktop and am trying to connect to Fedora 22 VM using putty.
To make this work, I have configured "port forwarding" from Oracle VM GUI menu.
for the "Host IP", I tried the "IPV4 Address" under "Wireless LAN adapter Connection" since I am on wifi at home. I also tried "IPV4 Adddress" under "Ethernet adapter VirtualBox Host-only Network". Finally I tried 127.0.0.1 for the "Host IP". None of these work.
Upon all of the above attempts, I receive "Connection timed out" from my putty.
Once I can make this work, my next goal is to ssh from one VM to another VM. FYI - My second VM shows the same IP address of the first VM I put in, I am guessing I need to change the IP address of the second VM manually. Please let me know if you have any advice on this as well.
