Configure network connectivity as guest O.S under vmware
Hi!
I am not sure if this is the right place to post this question. What I did was to download vmware onto my laptop, them install a linux distro as a guest O.S., on VM network configuration I have used "bridge", them I used Virtual Network Editor to chose the network interface, but as I write
Code:
ifconfig -a
on the linux guest O.S. I see nothing!!
Do I need to configure new network settings for it?
I'm not sure that they show up unless you have configured them and assigned an IP address.
What have you installed?
If there's a "device", they'll show up in ifconfig -a.
If nothing shows up there's no (detected) devices. VMware shouldn't have any detection issues. If a network is configured to the VM, it should show up.
If you think you have done all this and it's still not showing up, I'd check the boot up logs and see if there are any hints there.
I swear I have no other devices on the vmnet 192.168.142.2, but after I configured one of the solaris x86 os, I kept getting warning ..node xx xxxxx have our ip addresss 192.168.142.2, and it scrolled thru it forever ..
I tried to boot it into single user mode , still having the same issue..
