You are vague. Do you have Debian installed inside a VM or are you trying to get out of a VM which is running on a Debian host? I'm assuming the former. What virtual software are you using, i.e. VirtualBox? OpenVZ? Xen? I'm assuming VirtualBox. > The server is fully capable to handle it, And for some reason when i try > to go through putty, The connection times out ? Where is your Putty running? Outside or inside the VM? On your host or another machine? Timing out is usually firewall or invalid address, though it can be for many other reasons. > Any ideas ? I'm guessing you have a network configuration issue. Possibly you need to assign a network address to the interface on the virtual machine. If you have Debian inside a VirtualBox and you are attempting to connect using PuTTY from the outside - you will need to set the VirtualBox to assign "bridge" mode in the Network settings for the ethernet card in the VM settings. The "host-only" mode in VirtualBox enables the VM and the host to talk, but the VM will not be able to reach the wider network outside the host. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=virtualbox+networking I haven't used OpenVZ for a while, but you can read more here about assigning IP addresses: http://wiki.openvz.org/Basic_operations_in_OpenVZ_environment If you have Xen, read more here: http://wiki.debian.org/Xen#Configure_Networking http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking -- elb...@gmail.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
