    Instruction how to fix not working ssh 
    On your Mac look for a file called Ubuntu\ 32bit\ server.vmx in the VM folder. In that file there should be a line like
ethernet0.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:b2:f1:a0"

Remember that number.

Now log into the VM and look in this file:
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

There should be some entries that look like:
# PCI device 14xx:16xx (tg3)
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", SYSFS{address}=="00:11:xx:xx:xx:xx", NAME="eth0"

look for the one that has SYSFS{address}== your number. Change the NAME to "eth0" on that one, and delete the rest of them. Then restart the virtual machine.
