mcol Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Good day! So I'm new to unraid 6 and learning as I go. I built a VM using the newest release of ubuntu server to host a game server. I would like to be able to telnet into the server for various reasons but I honestly am not having any luck figuring out how to do this. When I use putty and connect to my server's IP I get to the terminal screen for Unraid which is what I was expecting. How can I connect to the Ubuntu server? When setting up the VM I chose Bridge mode for ethernet which was recommended in the VM documentation. Or at least it was the way I read it. I could have been mistaken there. Host mode would have given it it's own IP that I could have used. Not sure if that is the way I should be doing it or not. At any rate your help and input would be much appreciated.

Pengman Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 That sounds like you are having the same issue I have with an ubuntu 16 server, https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=48722.0. As I wrote, it works as expected with ubuntu 14, so I think there is something special about ubuntu 16 that works differently, but I'm not an expert on those matters Quote Link to comment
mcol Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 I actually got this working after quite a bit of trail and error and google. I turned off my VM and got it's MAC address from the info. I then got into my router and found it and assigned it a static IP. I then installed Open SSH server on my Ubuntu server. Thanks for the response Pengman I appreciate it. I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and unraid 6.1.9 Quote Link to comment
