How to connect from MAC to Guest

In VirtualBox Manager

• Is Settings > Network > Adaptor 2 set to Host-Only Adaptor (vboxnet0)?

• Is Settings > System > Enable I/O APIC checked?

In the VM

• Is OpenSSH installed? ($ sudo apt-get install openssh-server )

• Have you made the changes to /etc/network/interfaces, replacing eth1 with your interface name from ifconfig ?

• Have you brought up the adaptor with $ sudo ifup <interface name>?

On your host

• Have you determined the correct IP address to ssh into? (Runifconfig. Use the value of vboxnet0's inet field. If vboxnet0 is not available, review the section above In VirtualBox Manager)

• Run ssh <username>@<ip address> and log in.
