unable to access Network ports of VM from the host machine

[johnpat88]

I am able to ping the virtual machine from the host machine and vice versa but i seem to be unable to ssh or connect to any service running on the VM ports it just says connection timed out. I am using VMware 16 pro Thanks.

Host OS?

Guest OS?

Network mode of VM? (eg. NAT, Bridged)

Guest OS firewall disabled?

@scott28tt

Host OS : windows 10 home latest

Guest OS : debian

Networking mode of VM : NAT

firewall disabled

There's no filter in the NAT network that would prevent e.g. an SSH client from accessing to the VM, so it's got to be something on the Debian VM itself that may need to be configured.

@a_p_

I have tried on workstation 15 It used to work well before upgrading to 16 .

Edit: I have again checked the ssh service is running on port 22 of the machine I can ping the VM from the host but ports just cannot be accessed.
