linux install in VM has no lan

[Fitseries3]

not sure exactly what to say here.

im running a F@H distro thats very minimal in VMware WS.

it only supports 8cores so im running 2 VMs

VM0 runs fine. no problems.

VM1 runs fine but has no lan.

i've tried changing the options in VMware and nothing seems to solve it.

i cant reinstall per say, VM1 is a clone of VM0 but has the F@H config file changed to machine ID=2

any help would be appreciated however i realize not many people here will know what to say.

you are using the bridged vmware adapter ? with dynamic ips ?

check /var/log/messages and the dmesg, ifconfig commands for clues

 

[Fitseries3]

ifconfig says only loopback is active.

dmesg displays that eth0 is intel pro e1000 but its still not active

bridged yes. dynamic yes.

ifup eth0

 

[Fitseries3]

wont let me do ifup but i found that eth0 was renamed to eth1 so i did ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.130

ran ifconfig again and it shows eth1 active but when i run ping to any address it says its unreachable.

 

[Fitseries3]

hm... will let me ping any local address but cant connect to internet

the other VM is setup identical and it has full net access.

as wiz said it is most likely your VM set eth to NAT instead of bridged. if you have a config file look for it there.

i ended up just deleting the machine and creating a new one.

works fine now so i guess something was just bugged.

 

[Easy Rhino]

is it a pre-made VM where you just have to fire it up or did you go through the settings manually?

 

[Fitseries3]

premade.

oh duh, i see the FAH pic. strange i always thought it was set to bridged automatically.
