what I did was I login in as a root user from my virutal machine linux box. On the terminal I issued the ifconfig command. I note down the ip address of my virtual machine linux box. I also enable communication for port 22 on the virtual machine linux box. On my windows xp box, I downloaded putty. The box field that requires a host or ip address I input the ip address I noted on my virtual machine linux box and the rest is history. I am guessing it works fine because all of the machines are on the same networks. Let say, the windows xp box is on a totally different network --- for instance the windows xp box is located at your office on a different network from the virtual machine linux box at my home. how do I establish a communication? Please Help!!

Guys: I have a mac computer ( which is my host machine). I am running a vm Fusion with a Linux operating system on the host machine. I was able to allow the host machine communicate effectively via ssh on the terminal on the host machine with MV linux box. Now, I have a laptop running on windows. I downloaded putty on it. How do I establish a communication through putty on my windows box to access my VM linux box in my Mac ( the machine hosting my VM)? Please help? Thanks!
