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.
