@wang1zhen since it fails with set socket 3 IP_TOS 0x10 try connecting with ssh -o IPQoS=none and see if it works.

From the ssh_config man page:

IPQoS
Specifies the IPv4 type-of-service or DSCP class for connections. Accepted values are af11, af12, af13, af21, af22, af23, af31, af32,
af33, af41, af42, af43, cs0, cs1, cs2, cs3, cs4, cs5, cs6, cs7, ef, le, lowdelay, throughput, reliability, a numeric value,
or none to use the operating system default. This option may take one or two arguments, separated by whitespace.
If one argument is specified, it is used as the packet class unconditionally. If two values are specified, the first is
automatically selected for interactive sessions and the second for non-interactive sessions. The default is af21
(Low-Latency Data) for interactive sessions and cs1 (Lower Effort) for non-interactive sessions.

Hi. Can you please collect networking logs by following the instructions below?
https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#collect-wsl-logs-for-networking-issues

wang1zhen · 2024-02-09T04:06:15Z

WslNetworkingLogs-2024-02-09_13-04-47.zip

I have uploaded the networking logs according to the instructions here.

CatalinFetoiu · 2024-08-15T19:16:18Z

thanks for attaching the logs. sorry for the delay following up on this

at the moment this is not supported when using mirrored networking mode

mirrored mode allows communication between WSL and the Windows host using 127.0.0.1 or using an IPv4 address assigned to the Windows host, but not communication with another VM running on Windows

shigenobuokamoto · 2024-08-15T23:00:28Z

you will be able to SSH by forwarding the port on windows host.

add the following to ~/.ssh/config in WSL

match host 192.168.145.130 exec "pgrep -f '^/init.*2022:localhost:22' || exec /mnt/c/Windows/System32/OpenSSH/ssh.exe -NL 2022:localhost:22 192.168.145.130 &"
        hostname localhost
        port 2022
