http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/578. Go get it! And tell me what you think of it.
I downloaded you appliance and installed it. The appliance will not obtain an IP address. I used the ifconfig -a eth1 command to verify. Would you know by chance what the command is to invoke a DHCP request for IP??? And did you compile the kernel as CLI only or is there a GUI?
Thanks
Let me download the app at another location and run it in VMplayer. It is a base server install. I have however installed the Xserver, try doing the startx[/b] or X to start it. Also check out this (http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper).
So you don't get any IP address on the machine? Where is your host? Is it on a network?
DaNexus and others:
To assign your Virtual Ethernet card/Network card a static address, please do the following:
Open network configuration file
$ sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
OR
$ sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
Find and if necessary remove dhcp entry:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Append new network settings:
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.254
Save and close the file. Restart the network:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
Please do let me know, if it works. Then I will update it on my blog and the VMware site.
