Such kind of configuration makes it impossible to access the box with its IP address, not to mention establishing ssh access. + +I tried to re-configure the network adaptor to attach to “bridged adaptor” and I’m able to establish ssh access to it. Soon I found that was not a good idea since the IP address of the box keep changing every time I restarted it. + +Finally I configured the “Adaptor 1” back to attached to “NAT” and enabled “Adaptor 2” and let it attached to “Host-Only Adapter”. With help from server guide I found on Ubuntu’s website (https://help.ubuntu.com/13.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html), I finally get the box to support “Adaptor 2” and now I can establish ssh access to the box. + +It was pretty challenging for me since this is the first time I learn some terms in networking. But I’m so glad I did it.
