To clarify what my issue was and it's solution. I had two problems: Port 902 was closed which kept remote users from connecting to vmware server: This occured because xinetd had somehow gotten removed during the upgrade to feisty. Installing xinetd and restarting the service fixed that.
Host and Guest could talk to each other when using non-TCP based services, but when TCP based services(SSH) were used the connection failed: I believe from looking at the vmware forums, that this can happen with any host operating system if the driver for your network card has some kind of TCP Offload Engine or something like that. I really have no idea. I assume that the feisty kernel has an updated e1000 module which somehow engaged that engine or something like it. I could not figure out how to disable the new functionality. My work around was to disable the onboard e1000 based NIC, plug in a generic card with an ADMtek Comet chipset(I think cards with this issue are the exception not the rule), edit my /etc/iftab, reboot, and everything worked as it should. Hope that helps someone. -- VMWare Player guest OS and Host Kubuntu cannot SSH into each other https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105697 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
