There are a lot of threads on this...I've been reading them.
Here's what I've got, maybe someone can help. I'm trying to build an OpenWRT image and struggling. I've got a virtualbox machine running alpine. User Root (obviously) and a regular user, M00, created.
Virtual box network settings: Network: NAT Port Forwarding: Name SSH, Protocol TCP, HostPort 2022, Guest Port 22
No problem running ifconfig on virtual machine and getting 127.0.0.1
run ipconfig on laptop and get 192. etc address (no virtual box).
using putty, try to go in as host: 127.0.0.1 Port 22, Port 2022, host [email protected] etc etc to no avail.
If I do anything with port 22 I get a connection refused message. If I do anything with 2022, I get a black cmd screen with the ability to do nothing...no typing, nothing. Ideas?
