SOLVED unable to ping or ssh to vm (but vnc works)

[jordanthompson]

Hi all,
I have an Ubuntu VM running happily in my TrueNAS CORE. I can VNC from either the web interface or tightVNC. I'd like to be able to ssh to it as well. I have turned on the ssh server, but I am unable to ping the VM from my laptop OR TueNAS.

Forgot to mention that my router sees the VM and has assigned an IP address for it.

Any suggestions would be most welcome!

In the VM:

Code:

sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all=0

seems to have fixed it (at least I can ssh from the TrueNAS to the VM. It would be nice to be able to access it directly from another host though :-/

sigh... I edited my hosts table on my laptop and am now able to ping and ssh now. I guess I have a DNS problem with my router :-/
