Cannot bridge networks on FC2/VPC, yet NAT(Shared) works fine
Hi, I'm using Virtual PC in the following configuration:
- Host: XP, SP2
- Guest: Fedora Core 2 (final)
- Network: Centrino wireless
I installed FC2 and have it working great when VPC networking is set to "Shared Networking (NAT)". This means I can run Mozilla and other internet applications and connect to the outside internet via my host's wireless network connection.
However, I would like to develop and test a Linux server application, and thus I need the host to contact the guest, and I'm given to believe that this is not possible with VPC in NAT mode.
Thus I would like to use the bridged mode ("Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection") such that the guest will get its own IP address, but I can't get it to work:
- When I select it as Network 1, without changing anything in the FC2 Guest install, then it fails to activate eth0 on startup.
- When I select it as Network 2, leaving Network 1 in "Shared Network (NAT)" mode, and then create a device for eth1 in the FC2 Guest install, eth0 works fine, but eth1 cannot activate (specifically, it reports "Determining IP information for eth1... failed.")
Any ideas?
