I can confirm this same problem. I am using a currently up-to-date Feisty installation on both the host and the guest. The host has the e1000 driver and when the offload engine is enabled, I can not connect with ssh between the host and the guest even though other machines on the network can connect to the guest.
I saw identical connection problems with LDAP over SSL as well. Specifically that an ldap client on the host could not connect to an LDAP server on the guest. Disabling the offloading engine by using ethtool is the trick to make it work. -- VMWare Player guest OS and Host Kubuntu cannot SSH into each other https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105697 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
