AWESOME! BigKuba is da'bomb. I've been fighting with this for two days and wanting to beat RedHat 9 senseless.

Thanks!!!

Yes it worked, one affero for you BigKuba !

I am new to this, just installed RH9 w/ VMWare 4 today. Same mo fo issue.


I have no idea where to update this script...would someone be so kind to help me out as to how I go about this? Where it is? What program do I use to update it?

PLEASE help? Thanks!

I had this problem, eth0 failed on boot.
I found doing a static ip with say
ifconfig eth0 10.1.2.3 netmask 255.255.255.0
then
ifup eth0
will read the dhcp config and all is fine.

I'm still having problems getting the screen size above 800x600, as the vmtools won;t install. If I re-compile them, I get loads of errors on boot, and still the vmware svga drivers isn't avilable.

Bigkuba, thank you for that info. Doing that worked for me, but only for NAT. Do you know how can I get it working for Bridged Protocol? Thank you for your expertise. I am using vmware 3.2. The error I get is "pcnet32 etho device is not present, delaying initialization."

Hi,

bigkuba's post about the addition worked for me! :-)

Worked for me too, thanks!!

Now how do I get it to configure DNS servers from DHCP?

PLEASE HELP!

I tried to do as posted in #13 and it worked as far as the ethernet controller is concerned. It is now activated and I can ping the guest os's ip and my main systems ip (win xp). But I can not seem to get any connection on the internet. When I start Mozilla it just says that the address couldn't be found.

Is there anyone out there who can possibly help me?

Im running vmware 4.0.2 and Red Hat 9 with Win XP as my primary OS.

Hi All,

I am having the same problem (running VMware WS 4.0.2 with Win XP as host and RH 9 in a vm). I'm trying to get a NAT configuration working. After applying the "check_link_down" fix, eth0 adapter comes up clean (thanks for the pointer). I can ping the gateway (<net>.1) and I can ping the NAT server (<net>.2) and the eth0 is assigned the first ip address in the range specified in the vmware dhcp setup. However, using mozilla (http) to get to the internet results in a time-out. Using nslookup however will return a valid ip address for the url. Traceroute show request is getting to the NAT server but no response on the next hop. Any thoughts on how to trouble-shoot this problem would be appreciated (my knowledge of networking is limited). Thanks!

I have the same problem. The thing is, my ip is being allocated by a DHCP-server from the ISP itself, so i can't give my guest OS a static IP.
I have my network adapter configured as Bridged as well, and it gets stuck when you want to restart the network. I am able to ping to other virtual machines and prolly my host too when i give eth0 a random ip, but what i need is Internet connection!!
I know it's possible to configure it on DHCP because a friend of mine managed to do so. The only problem is that he doesn't remember how he did it -_-.

Please help us if you know.

Can someone please write it step by step how he configured his NIC in order to get Internet connection an a Bridged Network type? Start like from where you dont even have eth0 configured. I really need to know this, I tried several ways and still no luck. Please help me out, i'm really getting desperate on this case .

Thanks in advance.
