no internet connection in ffox in VL but can connect tru OPENSUSE

ic_torres · 05-20-2008, 03:16 AM

hi, im just wondering.. i have set up 2 distros in my virtual box.. VL 5.8 and OpenSuse 10.3 .. they have the same network settings.. same proxies used.. since im testing it here in the office.. BUT the difference is.. WHY on VL i cant connect to the net using ffox BUT can connect using KONQUEROR.. now in OpenSuse i can use ffox in the internet BUT not konqueror.. .

is there something wrong in my network settings OR in the browser itself? thanks..

x-cess : i have tried some forum suggestions but still i cant connect using my ffox in VL

well clearly the settings must be wrong somewhere, unless drivers are not loaded / hardware not supported. compare the outputs of "ifconfig" and "route -n" on each system.

OK, what kind of networking is in place here? can you see any arp entries on both machines? as you have the same IP with different MAC's i'd worry about that. in fact, are these running at the same time on the same IP???

1. its NAT set up in virtual box
2. sorry what do you mean by "arP entries" ?

sorry im a newbie in networking

3. i have tried running both guest OS at the same time BUT one freezes because i think the RAM of the HOST (windows) cannot handle both of them

well ping the default gateway on both machines. does it work on both? on your host machine run "arp -n" to show your arp tables.
