I have an odd networking issue. I am running MacOS 10.14 and Fusion 11 Pro.
I have two mac’s running fusion, I have a ubuntu server vm on each mac. Separate installs. Both using bridged networking. Both VM’s have an ip from the router. DHCP lease is set to 5 weeks.
The following SSH connections work as expected:
Mac_host_1 -> Mac_host_2
Mac_host_1 -> VM on mac_host_2
Mac_host_2 -> VM on Mac_host_1
Vm on mac_host_1 -> vm on mac_host_2
Mac_host_1 -> any host on the internet
Mac_host_2 -> any host on the internet
The following suffers from odd behaviour of the following error “packet_write_wait: Connection to x: Broken Pipe”
Mac_host_1 -> vm on mac_host_1
Mac_host_2 -> vm on mac_host_2
As an additional test, I installed a second VM on both mac hosts and ssh’ed between them, the same error
Vm1 on mac_host_1 -> vm2 on mac_host_1
Vm1 on mac_host_2 -> vm2 on mac_host_2
I am completely confused by this, tcpdump does not show anything when the connection drops, it’s like the system did not see it, the logs I have found do not show anything relating to dropped network.
The other very odd thing is, the error appears 1m 55s after ssh'ing to the machine, which i don't get either
SSH keep a live and timeout settings have been tried with no effect.
So the issue is SSH’ing from host machine to vm on host machine using a lan ip
I am out of ideas
Thanks
