If you use NAT network setting in vmware or virtualbox or something else in
your win 7. It cannot be access to the virtual server from your host
throught network. You must use bridge network setting in your software.

I use VirtualBox these days, but if memory serves it is very much like 
Vmware in this regard. The OP needs to understand that the default install 
provides a NAT and a DHCP for the guest VM so it can be brought up 
automagically. I know in the VirtualBox documentation it is clearly 
explained about how incoming connections are not passed through this NAT.

There are typically 3 networking configurations available: the default as 
described above, bridged, and host-only. Host-only does exactly what it 
sounds like - only the host machine and guest may communicate with each 
other. Bridged networking is what you want to set up if you want your VM to 
be totally available to your outside network. Hint: the "bridge" is not on 
the VM guest OS side, but rather the bridge would connect your Windows 7 
host's NIC to the VM. A bridged config replaces the default install NAT.

I haven't used Vmware for a while now, but in VirtualBox you can use the 
VBoxManage command line to enable port forwards in the default install's 
NAT. This is OK if you only want to make a small number of services 
available, like let's say only a web server on port 80. But you'll want a 
bridged config if you want the entire VM visible.

This has nothing to do with firewalling.

He's very likely using NAT on his virtual machine.

So outgoing connections work just fine: NAT from the guest through the host.

But inbound connections fail, and rightly so: NO NAT *to* the guest
through the host.

In the interest of preventing newb pain:

 Please note that the entry for /etc/rc.conf  must be exact.

In particular, *do not* miss either of the quote marks, or your
machine will hang at next boot, and force you to boot into single user
mode to recover from it by adding the missing quote mark and booting
again. This is not the end of the world, but until you figure it out,
it can induce feelings of fear, nausea, helplessness and acute
embarrassment.

However, about the third time you've done it, and recovered from it by
your own efforts, it's no longer a big thing.

Hello

2011/4/13 afiddler10 :
> Hi, I am new to the Linux environment.
FreeBsd its not Linux environment.

  I am trying to build a virtual Freebsd server to run another virtual
device (a Juniper router).  I have found that after building the base
operating system that I cannot remotely access the virtual Freebsd
server.  I have tried using both Qemu and VMware with the same result.
 It looks to me as though the server has a default setting that allows
it to contact other devices (e.g., I can ping, ftp, telnet, etc.,
other devices from my Freebsd server) but I cannot ping, ftp, telnet
into the Freebsd server from my host PC.  My host is a Windows 7
desktop, but I have tried pinging from another virtual device and
cannot get a response from the Freebsd server.  I do not believe that
the issue is my Windows 7 PC.

Verb. Sap.  Don't confuse FreeBSD with Linux.  Especially on FreeBSD
mailing lists.  It's like mistaking a Scotsman for an Englishman.  Tends
to cause a lot of red faces and shouting, if not actual fisticuffs...

Hmmm... with the firewall config set to 'open', ping should work.  Are
you behind a NAT gateway?

Anyhow, your problem is this: you need to turn /on/ a daemon process to
enable remote access.  Unlike many widely used OSes, FreeBSD ships with
just about everything available in the OS turned off.  Which might seem
perverse to the uninitiated, but trust me; it's a real blessing over all.

Edit the file /etc/rc.conf and add the line:

sshd_enable="YES"

Then run this command as root:

# /etc/rc.d/sshd start

(you only need to do that as a one-off -- adding the line to rc.conf
means the daemon will be started automatically on reboot from now on)

Then you can use a SSH client from windows to remote login to your
FreeBSD box.  If you need a client, try putty from

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

Nb. by default, you won't be able to SSH in as root -- so set yourself
up a normal user account, add it to the wheel group and then use su(1)
once you've logged in.  As ever, the Handbook is your friend for
instructions on how to do this sort of stuff.

Cheers,

Matthew
