[Help] Putty and WinSCP cant connect to CentOS!

[Jeffijoe]

Hey all!

I tried to connect to my CentOS with Putty, and it didnt work. I checked it all alot of times. The IP matches, the password and user matches, and everything!

If there is ANYTHING else you need to know, that might be causing the problem, just comment it here!


I tried pinging my Windows machine, and it worked, so I dont know what can possibly be wrong.

Hope you guys can help me! :D

this problem happen to me every time i restart the vmware..
i just make the windows able to ping centos and the problem disappear.

Not sure what the problem was but we just reinstalled a new centos machine from scratch and that fixed it (takes about 15 mins to reinstall, much quicker than working the problem out :P)
