RHEL5.4 is installed on VMware Workstation 7 today. After installation, I find that SSH remote connection is unavailable. I carefully check the network connection between the local machine and the virtual machine and find that the communication is normal, the SSH daemon and port are also checked to be normal. You can also telnet from the local machine to port 22 of the virtual machine. This situation has never been encountered in the implementation process of the current network, generally, after installing RHEL on the server, you can directly connect to the server through SSH. There is no problem at all. Why is the VM unavailable?
After checking for a long time, check that the RHEL firewall and Selinux are both disabled, and the Windows XP firewall is also disabled. At the same time, check that the local SSH tool is OK, I uninstalled and reinstalled the openssh package on RHEL, but it still didn't work. I just re-installed RHEL, but it still didn't work. The depressing one was simply not expressed in words. However, Huang Tian did not care, and finally asked me to find a solution, as shown below:
Open the Device Manager of the Local Machine (winxp), find the NIC of the Local Machine, open its Properties window, find "offload checksum" in the Advanced tab, and set its value to "Disable ", after you press OK, restart your computer and you will be able to access it through SSH.
Although the solution is finally found, I don't know why. It is probably a small Bug in VMware Workstation 7! Hope to help you.
