Question: I have a VM running Fedora 17 on VMWare over windows 7. I want to SSH to my university server from fedora but when I try something like:

```
ssh myuser@server.com

```

I don't get request for my password. If I try to SSH using PuTTY in windows, everything is OK.

Then I pinged the server and got the following message:

```
From 192.168.0.106: icmp_seq=2 Redirect Network(New nexthop: 192.168.0.1)

```

It repeated over and over. Anyone knows how to solve this issue?

PS: I tried NAT and Bridged network connection on the VM, but I'm not sure what this means completely, so I may have messed up somewhere around here.

Answer: 
On Ubuntu 10 running Gnome:

System -> Preferences -> Screensaver. There's a checkbox to lock after the screensaver activates, and there's checkbox and a slider to activate the screensaver after a certain amount of time.
On Debian (release 7.4 = wheezy):

The problem with lock/timeout/idle/gnome-screensaver is resolved on a standard install, thru the menu "Applications" in the lowest-leftest corner,

Applications > System Tools > Preferences > System Settings > Brightness and Lock

or thru the menu (with your name) in the lowest-rightest corner,

System Settings > Brightness and Lock

Here, I changed "10 minutes" to "1 hour"; 
and I changed "Lock ON" to "Lock OFF" (so the screen blanks but doesn't require another login)

The Debian package that instituted this is 
 gnome-screensaver
