Given:
vm - a WinXPsp3 virtual machine hosted by a Win7sp1 physical machine
alice is the user on vm
srv - a Win2008R2sp1 server
bob is the user on srv
quake - a linux server
mark is the user on quake
Both vm and srv have the same new installation of cygwin (1.7.9) and openssh.
Firewall service is disabled on vm (and its host) and on srv
All the machines can be pinged from all the machines.
ssh mark@quake works OK from both vm and srv.
ssh bob@srv works OK from both quake and vm.
ssh alice@vm works on the vm itself only, but it fails on the other two machines:
alice@vm ~
$ ssh alice@vm
alice@vm's password:
Last login: Tue Oct 25 23:42:09 2011 from vm.shunra.net

I used ssh-host-config both on vm and srv to configure the ssh to run as a windows service. Besides that I did nothing else.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this issue?
Thank you very much.
EDIT
The virtual machine software is VMWare Workstation 7.1.4. I think the problem is in its settings, but I have no idea where exactly. The Network Adapter is set to Bridged.
EDIT2
All the machines are located in the company lab, I think all of them are on the same segment, but I may be wrong. Below is the ipconfig /all output for each machine (skipping the linux server). I have deleted the Tunnel adapters to keep the output minimal. If anyone thinks they matter, do tell so and I will post them as well. In addition ping output is given to show that DNS is correct.
Something else, may be relevant, may be not. Doing psexec to srv works OK, whereas to vm failes with Access Denied.

I have just checked - the vm-host is able to ssh to the vm machine! I still do not know how to leverage this discovery to solve the problem.
