Hi,
I have installed RHEL4 using vmware workstation..
Host OS: Windows XP
Guest OS: RHEL4
Pls refer step 17 & 18 in below link...
ORACLE-BASE - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and Centos 4 Installation
1) If i choose to assign IP automatically (using DHCP) means, i am able to connect RHEL4 from my windows through putty successfully..
[root@localhost ~]# ifconfig -a |grep "inet addr"
inet addr:192.168.8.129 Bcast:192.168.8.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
2) But if i assign the IP address manually, i am getting "Network error: No route to host" error when i connect RHEL4 from my windows through putty..
[root@localhost ~]# ifconfig -a |grep "inet addr"
inet addr:192.168.1.111 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
Also pls let me know, if i choose IP and hostname manually, what should be the values of
1) Gateway
2) Primary DNS
in miscellaneous settings...
Pls help....
