I have just installed VMWare Workstation and loaded an Ubuntu 7.10 image (link below if you're curious) which seems to work fine as far as browsing the web, but Putty SSH isn't working. It just times out and says 'unable to open connection to 192.168.42.201:'. I know the IP is good, and the Putty config is the same as that on Putty on the host XP machine which works fine. Putty was installed through Synaptic Package Manager and seemed to install OK. I've tried both network connection types on the VMWare (Bridged and NAT) and again both work fine for browsing the web but no dice on the Putty.

Any suggestions for troubleshooting?

BTW, I got the Ubuntu image here:

Thanks in advance!
