I need some guidance as to how to access my adsl connection on this stand alone machine running Win2k as the host and ubuntu from within parallels Changing the Parallels addresses to 192.168.0.1 - 254 with submask 255.255.0.0 via Edit->Preferences, Network tab for DHCP settings has made no difference. The result shows up in the host run ipconfig as follows, but I can not access the net from within parallels even after the change. Can someone suggest what to do next: Windows 2000 IP Configuration results Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : config IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.64 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.254 Ethernet adapter Parallels Host-Guest Virtual NIC: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.2 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : Robin
Is anyone able to help me to get on line? I am on line via the windows host but not Ubuntu as the VM. Robin
Configure your guest to use the same subnet as your host machine; i.e. 192.168.0.x where the last number is different from existing numbers in use on the network. Gateway should point to the router if you're using a router on your network, otherwise if the host machine is directly connected to the dsl modem, then the gateway should be your host machine's ip address. DNS in /etc/resolv.conf should be configured with the same DNS servers your host machine is using. That should get you online from your linux vm.
