Overall Goal:
Create an ODBC Database connection from my WinXP VM to my MySql Database on my OS X Snow Leopard for creating / testing / troubleshooting database queries.
Currently:
I have 2 network connections set up in my WinXP VM. One is configured as a NAT connection and can access the internet. The second, per below 192.168.25.10, IP on the VM is set to Host only. I cannot figure out how to ping either the host or VM, from their respective sides. Regardless of which one is Connected (Active). And my assumption is I will not get my ODBC connection up till I do that.
I originally had a 192.168.131.128, until I removed one of the Network connections in the WinXP VM and lost the 192.168.131.128. When I re-added another Network connection in my WinXP VM I was given the 192.168.25.128 and cannot get back the 131.128 While the 192.168.25.128 is the only Network connection active active I can ping from the WinXP what the WinXP VM see's as it's Gateway, 192.168.25.2, but not sure where that IP is coming from.
I ran the below command with output from another thread. But again not sure what that file is supposed to look like.
sudo nano /Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Fusion/networking
