Configuration to access internet from vmware(host=winXP, guest on vmware=linux-5)
Hi,
I am a newbie in Linux, so please ignore my mistakes and please help. Well I have installed linux ver-5 on vmware. I have windows XP on base machine. I am not able to access internet from linux. I have MTNL broadband DSL connection on windows XP. Internet is working fine on XP. I have made the following configurations in /etc/sysconfig/networks NETWORKING_IPV6=yes HOSTNAME=abc.test.com NETWORKING=yes NISDOMAIN=RHCE GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 ====================================================== and in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 HWADDR=00:0C:29:77:f2:de ONBOOT=yes DHCP_HOSTNAME=abc.test.com IPADDR=192.168.1.3 (I changed it manually) NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 ====================================================== and in /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.1.1 ====================================================== and in /etc/hosts 192.168.1.3 abc.test.com ====================================================== windows ip address: 192.168.1.2 (Assigned by DHCP) gateway: 192.168.1.1 ===================================================== When I am able to ping google.com from terminal window in linux(0%packet loss) but when i try elinks google.com I get a page which says making connection and it never returns. When i go in vmware edit-->virtual network settings-->Vmnet1(host-only) the subnet is 192.168.245.0 and -->Vmnet8(NAT) the subnet is 192.168.127.0 Also in vmware edit-->virtual network settings-->NAT the VMnet host is VMnet8, Gateway IP address: 192.168.127.1, Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Is it that the gateway of VMware is different and that of my internet broadband is causing a problem. If yes then what are the changes to be made. PLS ASSIST!! |
What distro of linux are you using?
In linux on the command line what does ifconfig say? If /etc/resolv.conf shows "nameserver 192.168.1.1", you must be connected to your network. You can also try, su nmap 192.168.1.* #to see what it says. However you need to have nmap installed. Many distros have nmap. |
It is RedHat Enterprise Linux Server release 5(Tikanga)
kernel 2.6.18-8.e15 on an i686 (smartd version 5.36[i686-redhat-linux-gnu]) The output of ifconfig shows the following display: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr: 00:0C:29:77:f2:de inet addr:192.168.1.3 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:51 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:38 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:5622 (5.4 KiB) TX bytes:2674 (2.6 KiB) Interrupt:185 Base address:0x1400 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask 255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 KiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 KiB) |
It seems that you have network access with RH through vmware.
Try su ifconfig eth0 up dhcpcd eth0 Now I know nothing about RH. However RH should probably have dhcpcd script. If not, there are other dhcp programs. |
