With VMware Workstation, how can I SSH from the host to a guest with NAT?

VMware Workstation creates virtual interfaces on the host. One for the host-only network and one for the NAT network.

(This is one point where VirtualBox is different)

So you only need to determine the IP-address of the guest.

    My host is Windows 7 with VMware Workstation 10. I am running an Ubuntu 12.04 guest that is connected to an NAT network. How can I set up the network so that I can SSH from the host to the guest? I assume it has to do with port forwarding?

      What's your current virtual network configuration? Do you have a network adapter attached to the NAT network?

      @DanielB Yes, eth0 is connected to NAT on the guest.

    Do you mean the IP address of eth0 on the guest?

    It works now. I don't know why it didn't before, even though I'm sure I tried that before.

    I went through my command history... It turns out I was spelling my username wrong in the SSH command!
