SSH on a Red Hat 9.0 VM guest question
 

Hello,

For the sake of exploration I have created a VM Ware Red Hat 9.0 guest OS on my Windows XP host.

Now this is where things get complicated so I will try and explain the best I can...

I have three working computers connected to the same router.

computer1 : IP address 192.168.0.100
computer2: IP address 192.168.0.101

-------->>> Red Hat 9.0 VM guest IP 192.168.213.128

computer3: IP address 192.168.0.102

I am trying to setup an SSH service on my Red Hat guest. Now I can connect to the SSH service while im on the Red Hat guest. For instance... 'ssh 127.0.0.1' is successful. I can also connect to the guest OS's SSH service on my host Windows XP Box using the PuTTY client. For instance 'ssh 192.168.213.128' is successful.

However, I cannot get my other computers to connect to the guest Red Hat OS. For instance 'ssh 192.168.213.128' from both IP's 192.168.0.100 and 192.168.0.102 is not successful.

The weird thing is that I am able to ping all the computers from my guest OS just fine. However, I am not able to ping my guest OS from my computers except the one that is hosting the OS?

Please help me with this problem, I have tried my best to explain this rather complicated situation, however if anything is unclear I will try clearify things.

Appreciate all your help. :)

Your guest OS is on a different lan segment. Make it 192.168.0.x and try again.
