*** IMPORTANT ***

It is very important to reinitialize the mac address of the virtual machine in group/class settings.

Failing to do this means many machines will pick up the same IP from router due to each machine having the same mac address, and calls will fail.

Do "ip a" and remember the IP address of your "eth0" or “enp0sX” interface.

We will use this IP to connect remotely with Secure Shell or Putty, for copy `n paste convenience. My ip happens to be 192.168.150.145.

Google Chrome - Secure Shell (more convenient than PuTTY)

Install Putty (can use Secure Shell or Putty, I prefer the Chrome extension)

Use the IP address you remembered to remotely connect to Debian.
