Beta 2.2 Networking Suse 9.1 Host, WinXP guest

Can't get my networking to work. I had host-only networking running fine in 2.1, but that doesn't seem to work with beta 2.2. I'm trying bridged networking now, and that doesn't work either.

In the host-only mode, I could ping the IP address of the host, but could get no further than that.

Anything I should be trying to troubleshoot this problem.

Otherwise love the new version - full screen 2560x1024 on my 2-monitor setup is great!

 

OK - got host only networking working now. Rather than edit the port fowarding setting manually, I fired up Suse Firewall and set it in there (that overrides the other settings apparently).

Still couldn't get bridged networking working, for some reason. Strange.

 

What port would that be? Thanks alot.

 

Probably firewall is also responsible in bridged mode. Try to switch it off temporarily to check this.

 

Tried it with the firewall off, still no bridged networking. But I haven't had enough tiem to thoroughly check everything - will do so next week. For now, host-only seems to work okay.

To zoglesby: For host-only networking I used Yast from the Suse menu. Click on Security and Users, then firewall, then reconfigure, then in the box below Internal Interface, type vnic0. Click next, then next again, then select the box Forward traffic and do masquerading. click next etc. to save the new settings.

 

And as I pay more attention I relize that you are using 9.1 not 10.1. The firewall settings pages are diffrent. I have disabled the firewall all together and I still do not get networking in either mode.

 

To see if you're running any firewall, run the following command as root:
iptables -L
The output for a machine with no firewall should be the following:

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
