[clue-tech] VMServer 1.0 Host/Guest Internet problems

[David L. Willson]

Dave means IP and DNS, not IP and DHCP.  DHCP ~is~ the automatically...

Here's an easy way to make it all happen right.

1. From the host, in the VM settings, set the network adapter to NAT,
not bridged or host-only.
2. In the guest, in Device Manger, remove any and all devices in the
Network Adapters class.
3. Reboot the guest.  (Yes, reboot).  When it comes up, it should detect
and configure the Lance adapter that VMware provides to guests.

NOTE:  The actual host adapter doesn't matter a bit to the guest.  The
only thing that matters to the guest is, if you've set it for bridged,
that you have configured vmware-bridging on the host adapter that's
connected.  With dial-up host, that probably won't work.  I dearly hope
that you did setup NAT networking when you ran the VMware config
scripts.  If not, rego them.
