host is 192.168.1.101
VM is eth1:192.168.1.111 (bridged) and eth0:10.1.1.x (IIRC)

Home router has port forwarding to the VM.

Logmein and twitter updater are on host. SSH is to VM via dyndns.

Edit: I should probably state that this machine is in my office at home, I on the otherhand am not.

Win 7 OS losing connectivity but machine still fine.

I've a strange situation going on and it's happened a few times.

I have a Win7 machine that is running a Linux (Ubuntu) VM as a guest. The Win 7 machine is also running logmein and a scheduled program that should update twitter hourly.

Now. The twitter feed has not been updated for 2 days and although logmein sees the machine as available it cannot connect. Normally from this I would assume the machine has crashed or lost its connection.

However I can still SSH into the Guest VM.

Weird. Any ideas?
