How to connect to playground about fopnp

I am not sure, from your description, how far you have progressed in the instructions, but every ssh command that I see in the README includes the complete command line including the hostname. Here are all four of them:

$ ssh -p 2201 brandon@localhost
$ ssh root@www
$ ssh h1
$ ssh -p 2022 docker@localhost

Is the command that is giving you trouble one of these? Or does the README mention another ssh command that it fails to spell out or cite? If so, please quote the sentence you are reading so that I know how far down the README you have made it so far. Thanks!

Re-reading the README, I understand now what you were saying. For some reason I thought the brandon@localhost was just an example and that it should be replaced with something else. I guess my frustration really was born out of the fact that I am unable to connect to the playground and I just assumed I was misunderstanding the instructions.

I still can't connect to the playground but it has nothing to do with this issue.
Thanks.

All right!

After months of trying to work around this problem — and after several conversations with people who have more experience with virtualization than I do — I have deprecated my original scheme of distributing a bare VirtualBox image and expecting it to run across multiple operating systems correctly, especially with network forwarding turned on.

I have just rebuilt, repackaged, and re-uploaded the Playground as a Vagrant box, because Vagrant had a reputation for doing a better job of supporting cross-platform image support than do any of the raw native back-end mechanisms for virtualization like VirtualBox.

I have amended the Playground instructions to explain starting up a Vagrant box:

Could you try out the instructions and let me know if they work on your platform and, if not, at which step they fail? Thanks so much!
