Pings but doesn't go to web site.
I'm at a loss here. I have Ubuntu 8.04 server running in VMWare Server 2.0 running in Windows Vista Home Premium.
I have it set up for virtual hosts, and I have it set up in /etc/network/interfaces for Static IP (I'm not on a static IP service, but just want to use it inside my wireless home network with Linksys wireless router): /etc/network/interfaces: Code:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost My /etc/resolv.conf looks like this: Code:
search localdomain Code:
Pinging myserver.localdomain [208.69.36.132] with 32 bytes of data: Code:
PING myserver.localdomain (192.168.100.135) 56(84) bytes of data. If I go in Firefox in Windows to try to access the info on the web server in Ubuntu, I get a search page on OpenDNS.com instead! I tried http://myserver.localdomain and http://myserver but I just get the OpenDNS.com search page. What do I do to fix it so I can get to the server on Ubuntu Guest OS from the Windows host OS? |
Hi -
For starters, you need to make sure the web page is accessable by IP address: EXAMPLE http://192.xxx.yy.zzz Once you've confirmed that, you need to: 1. Determine which DNS and/or WINS server(s) your Windows host is using (it's probably DHCP) 2. Make sure your LAN's DNS and/or DHCP is correctly configured for VMWare/Ubuntu 3. Make sure your Ubuntu is correctly configured for your LAN's DNS and/or DHCP The easiest way to do this is (at least for a private, internal LAN) to simply use DHCP across the board. |

But in Ubuntu Server itself, I wanted to use a static IP. Is that right? Or should I still be using DHCP in my /etc/network/interfaces? |
