I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Lucid Lynx

I have installed Ubuntu server (10.10) using Oracle VM VirtualBox

How to access from host machine to that guest machine.

IP of host machine: *.55.21.16

IP of guest machine: 10.0.2.15

ssh-server on the guest machine is correctly working with:

$ sudo netstat -lntp | grep 22
tcp6        0      0 :::22            :::*               LISTEN     3574/sshd

How do I connect to that host machine.

Before placing this question I tried http://mydebian.blogdns.org/?p=148 but its not working for me.

Host machine configuration (ifconfig)

Can you paste in the details of your interfaces on the host machine? The result of "sudo ifconfig" would do. – ed. Sep 14 '11 at 14:11
do you have any communication between the host and the guest with ping? – n00b Sep 14 '11 at 18:31

Check the network modes in the virtualbox manual, it seems that the guest and the host don't have any communication.

Sometimes the default configuration (NAT) doesn't fit with the needs, try "Host-only networking".

Have you tried the rdp connection with the guest?

No I only tried NAT – suvankar Sep 15 '11 at 16:00
the vrdp connection it's another way to access to the vm, but i repeat... you must check that you have a connection between your guest and host, try with ping, it should work. – n00b Sep 15 '11 at 17:45
If i do 'ifconfig' on guest machine it shows its static ip: 10.0.2.15 If i ping from host using 'ping 10.0.2.15' it not working. – suvankar Sep 16 '11 at 6:41
@suvankar try the host-only network it seems that with your config (modem not router) it will be the useful. – n00b Sep 16 '11 at 13:34
