SSH to Windows 7 (VirtualBox) with OpenSSH does not work

For the life of me, I went through all the steps to Install/Configure OpenSSH on a Windows 7 machine under VirtualBox, but it will not accept any connections.

  • VirtualBox Network set to “Bridged Adapter” and works fine
  • Windows Firewall is properly set by the OpenSSH installer
  • sc query sshd Returns: STATE : 4 RUNNING
  • netstat -an |find /i “listening” shows: TCP 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING

but from a client machine:

  • ping is fine
  • (Windows Powershell) Test-NetConnection -ComputerName 192.###.### -Port 22 returns:
    TcpTestSucceeded : False
  • (Linux) ssh: connect to host 192.###.### port 22: Connection timed out
    nmap 192.###.### -Pn
    135/tcp open msrpc
    139/tcp open netbios-ssn
    445/tcp open microsoft-ds
    5357/tcp open wsdapi

No port 22

Any ideas?
