Dear Friends,
Last week I tried the VMware Workstation 4 software on Windows XP ( Appologies to all Microsoft Haters...). I created a virtual machine with a network adapter and loaded RedHat Linux 9 on it.
But I cannot configure Networking to connect My Host PC (Win XP) with the virtual Linux machine. I tried Bridge Networking and also Host-Only Networking Options but Nothing seems to work. The linuxVirtual Machine configures the NIC perfectly. I gave it a static IP address which works but with DHCP it does not get any IP address ( No link present....). Also with static IP address it does not ping to my Host PC.
I read the VMware manual but found no detailed explaination of the networking Part.
I also have VMware WS 4 for Linux/UNIX Host but it does not install correctly on RedHat Linux 9, maybe the installer package is corrupt...
It would be nice if someone can give me any pointers or details of how exactly networking is configured in VMware WS 4 between a virtual machine and a physical machine.
Thanking in advance,
Regards, Suhas
