Re: Failure of name resolution with ssh on windows 7 and VMware


Partial resolution:

I've found that the problem does not occur when using NAT for networking. Bridged mode is still a problem. I've submitted a request to VMware. Nothing in their database.

I am unable to get name resolution to work with ssh. The command ssh X
returns the error "ssh: could not resolve hostname X: Non-recoverable
failure in name resolution." The command nslookup X returns a valid IP
address.
Run a Wireshark trace when ssh fails and see if you actually have an
attempt for name resolution. I'd rather suspect UAC or the firewall.

I've created a partial workaround in my .bashrc file that creates
variables containing the IP addresses of the names I need to resolve.
This is a weird idea. Use /etc/hosts for that.
