I have a host computer (a mac) running two Ubuntu systems as guest machines. I would like to set up an ssh connection between these two virtual machines.

Both guest machines are equipped with open-ssh server/client. I have given both guest machines "Bridge Mode" so they all have different IP addresses. Have internet connections. But when I try ssh x.x.x.x, it says connection is refused.

My understanding is that this can occur due to firewall settings? Is there a way to solve this??

Is it even possible to accomplish ssh between two guest machines?? I don't see why not?

  • Please edit your question to show us the IP config of both machines. In each one type ip ad, we need the output.

If you are using VirtualBox (you didn't specify), in the Network settings, select Host-only Adapter for both virtual machines. They will be able to "see" each other. (You will not be able to access outside the two machines, however).

  • There are several other possibilities beside using "host only".
