Problem with bridged networking?

[jalanh11640]

I created a ubuntu 22.0.4 server installation (the minimal installation, not the full) on a 2023 M2 Mac Mini running macOS Sonoma (public beta). The UTM configuration defaulted to a network mode of 'Shared Network'. In this configuration, I was able to ssh to the instance from my Mac.

I decided to switch the Networking Mode to 'Bridged (Advanced)' and set the Bridged Interface to 'en1' (my wifi interface). I kept the Emulated Network Card as 'virtio-net-pci. When I booted the instance the IP matches the reservation I provided my router so it would appear that networking is configured. From my Mac, I can ping the IP address without issue. However, when I try to ssh to the instance ssh eventually times out.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks,
Jeff

Try and see if enabling the "Isolate Guest from Host" option of "Bridged (Advanced)" does the trick for you. It's tucked away under the "Show Advanced Settings" panel by default:

Thanks for replying. I managed to get back to this today. I had uninstalled UTM. Today I reinstalled and bridged networking worked like a charm.

Interesting, guess we'll never know the cause. I hate forever mysteries 🥲
