Re: Remote access to Freebsd server
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. On Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 11:37 PM, afiddler10 afiddle...@yahoo.com wrote: Hi, I am new to the Linux environment.

But inbound connections fail, and rightly so: NO NAT *to* the guest through the host. 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. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

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.
