Basically I have a networking problem, I think I have set my networking for dhcp but for some reason I cannot seem to ping or get my internet to work. Actually, if I try to do a ping... it will just hang... Please see below. Here's my version of Parallels: Parallels Workstation - Version 2.2 Build 2222 running on Windows XP. Here's my info when I type the following commands (I have to cut some info off because I could not cut and paste the result from the parallels screen). ~$ ping www.google.com PING www.l.google.com (74.125.19.99) 56(84) bytes of data. ----- will just hang. ~$ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:32:XX:XX:XX:XX inet addr:192.168.10.104 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 ~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp auto lo iface lo inet loopback ~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf search hsd1.ca.comcast.net. nameserver 192.168.10.1 ~$ host www.google.com www.google.com is an alias for www.l.google.com. www.l.google.com has address 209.85.171.103 www.l.google.com has address 209.85.171.99 www.l.google.com has address 209.85.171.147 www.l.google.com has address 209.85.171.104 ~$ netstat -r Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.10.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 Default 192.168.10.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Also, if I check in Ubuntu, System -> Administration -> Network -> Wired connection is checked. And in Parallels, the network is set as Bridge Ethernet. Also, I have a router whose IP address is 192.168.10.1 which I can actually see from Ubuntu. Let me know if I missed any other information.
