eroica · ‎03-08-2007

hello,

i just installed vmplayer and downloaded ubuntu 6.10 appliance. i cant get the networking to work. ifconfig command shows eth1 is up but no ip address is assigned. i have interface setup for dhcp. i'm running on win2k as the host os, i see no dns entries in resolv.conf either. any suggestions on how to get this working. i'm just trying ubuntu out for first time and am not at all familiar with it.thanx....

To further troubleshoot your issue, please provide the following information

Post the output from " ipconfig /all " from the Windows host

Post the output from " ifconfig -a " from the Linux guest (Ubuntu)

Post the .vmx file from the virtual machine (Ubuntu)

Post the contents of /etc/network/inerfaces (Ubuntu)

Post the contents of /etc/iftab (Ubuntu)

How is the host connected to the internet? (Cable modem, DSL, Router..etc)

thanx for the advise but still no good. I think it has something to do w/dns setup. I tried putting the dns servers from win2k setup in resolv.conf but that did nothing. tried pinging them and that was ok. I also pinged ubuntu site ok when i used their actual ip address. when i try pinging using domain name i get unknown host response. but then i couldnt ping ubuntu.com under windows either but was ok again using ip address. I dont know if this has to do w/proxy i have to go thru? But then i can surf fine in windows. any other suggestions. I was also wondering why we changed eth0 in ifsetup when ubuntu has assigned ethernet card as eth1? i did see that ifconfig did show the new address...
