host: windows xp
guest: centos
VM: VMware Workstation 7.0.1
I can't ssh from host to guest
Don't know why. sshd is running - out of the box, fresh install, nothing added/changed
IP received via dhcp same lan segment for both host and guest - 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0
can ping host <-> guest firewall disabled (host, guest) selinux disabled
when trying to test local ssh:
Code:
[root@localhost]# ssh localhost
The authenticity of host 'localhost (127.0.0.1)' can't be established
RSA key fingerprent is 8a:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx::x:xx:xx:x:x:x:x ...
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
Solution By davemcza and someone on tuxradar
In case when host is ms windows based you have to:
Go to device manager, find your NIC, open it. Go to Advanced tab.
Find "Checksum offload" and disable it. don't need to restart host.
Network will be restarted by itself.
Linux based host: TuxRadar article
sudo ethtool --offload eth0 tx off
sudo ethtool --offload eth0 rx off tx off sg off tso off
Use the -v switch and post the output when you try; you need to be a bit more descriptive
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# ssh -v localhost

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
Also as i mentioned it's not first time when i'm having this issue in this lan which is my worklplace. When i'm installing CentOS on physical machines everthing runs great, but VMs ...
Do you want to ssh your guest os from your host os?
try with some ssh clients (putty, securecrt or xshell) your output seems ok
or
check the telnet output for port 22
Quote:
[root@localhost]# ssh localhost
why do you do this from your system itself? what senses there?
Why are you connecting to localhost and not the centos box/virtual?
A daft question, sure, but thats where the output ends? You are selecting to continue connecting, are you not?
so...
here is further output:
Code:
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

[root@localhost ~]#
i can't ssh with putty from host windows xp.
but it's new vm install absolutelly fresh and clean...
today i'll had tries installing this VM, but when i reinstalled opnssh and it's components, and answered YES...it "connected" to localhost via ssh and asked me for password, i don't know why password and not username first and then password. UPDATE:
now i've tried to ssh from guest to my other Centos physical machine it succeeded, after sshed from this machine back to my VM (VM->physical->VM) it again said me:
Code:
[root@shadow]# ssh 192.168.3.140
The authenticity of host '192.168.3.140' can't be established
RSA key fingerprent is 8a:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx::x:xx:xx:x:x:x:x ...
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? YES
i logged in my VM, then loged out
tried again ssh into localhost and it worked.....
but still can't ssh from host system into vm.....as i understood RSA key not transfered.........but i can login to my VM at home, and many other VM,,,,and RSA key is being transfered normally to putty....
I might still be completely lost here, but which of those is the connection from your windows box, or as you termed it 'host', to the 'guest'?
none of this examples are connection from windows(host) to centos(guest)
i can't give you any output of this tries - just nothing happens
or if some one needs it, i can post screenshot of empty Putty(or Kitty) window(s)
Have a look at this: www . tuxradar . com / answers / 488
This person is running vmware on a linux machine, and found that the routing is being bypassed for certain protocols and handed over to the network card to do.
So, he solves the problem by changing setting on the Linux based host that prevent the network card from being given that responsibility.
I have exactly the same setup and problem as you, I can ping my virtual machine from XP and my virtual machine can ping it's XP host. But, any other protocols except for ICMP seem to be unable to complete the route.
I was running VMWare on a different machine before, I got this new (and improved) machine and now I sit with this problem that I have not had before, so this seems to be the same problem ... i.e. Hardware related.
So, I will now go looking for a place in Windows XP where the equivalent of:
sudo ethtool --offload eth0 tx off
or
sudo ethtool --offload eth0 rx off tx off sg off tso off
Okay, I looked in the logical place, turned off everything that said "offload", and I can now open the SSH window on my XP Machine to my Virtual Machine.
In your Windows XP Host machine, as follows:
Network Connections -> Local Area Connection -> Properties
Click on the CONFIGURE button next to the network card controller.
Click on the ADVANCED tab.
I DISABLED:
- Checksum Offload (Was on RX & TX Enabled)
- Flow Control (Was on Enabled)
- Large Send Offload (Was on Enabled)
I then rebooted and started up the Virtual Machine, and could SSL to it.
Eureka!
