CentOS Networking with V Box

Tue Feb 3 22:22:21 MST 2015

Ok, sorry, I misunderstood.

Nmap could be your friend here.  Install it on your Windows machine.  It
will install the graphical tool automatically in Windows.  Point this at
your VM, and do a "intense scan"

Next, on the Linux VM, do a
  # netstat -plant

Zenmap/Nmap will tell you what ports it can see open from its side of the
link.  The netstat command will tell you which ports are opened by running
software.

Lastly, on the Linux VM, do a
   # ip tables -L

This will tell you which ports the firewall will allow.

Now, you have a few possibilities:

  1) The netstat does not show the binding to port 21... this means SSHD
did not start.

  2) netstat shows SSHD, but the firewall is not allowing it.  Open the
firewall

  3) netstat shows SSHD, the firewall is open, but you still don't see the
port open via nmap.

    3a) if you see other ports open, I would look at the Windows firewall

    3b) If you don't see any ports open, you have two options here.

       3b1) Make sure your NIC (from the Windows side) is in promiscuous
mode.

       3b2) If it is already in promiscuous mode, then this may not work in
this configuration.  In this case, try adding a private network on a second
NIC, and communicate with the VM over that.

Let me how it goes.
