CANNOT Connect With SSH
Debian server running as virtual machine under VMWare Fusion with MacOS as the host. It has been working great for years, through upgrades.
I have no idea why anything changed, it was working fine last time I started it up 12 hours ago. I did not notice any problems during shutdown, but now, I cannot connect to this vm with ssh. I have console access, where I ran systemctl status sshd.
Other VM on this same host is working normally.
This is the Misbehaving VM
At first I thought listening on 0.0.0.0 was a problem, but I have another vm on this same host and it shows similar output to that command.
IP on Misbehaving Machine Keeps Changing
The problem appears to be the VM is not keeping its IP. It gets its ip from the xfinity router that brings cable into the my home. The router has resevered ip 10.0.0.15 for this VM, based on its MAC Address. Here is the Mac address for the VM and the reserved ip setup for it the router
This shows the ip of the misbehaving machine keeps changing instead of keeping to its assigned value.
This also shows the ip changing on the misbehaving machine. It can ping the machine that is working correctly, but here you can see the ip of the source of the ping changes on every ping
syslog
The router says this VM is attached at that correct ip, but this machine is acting like a dork.
I don't know where to go on this. Can you offer any suggestions?
