Excellent. Now we need to set up eth0. First determine what the router's local domain is. From the *router* do either /sbin/ifconfig eth0 or /sbin/ip addr list It may be set in the virtual server too. I haven't used VirtualBox. On the client, do ip addr add <lfs system ip address> dev eth0 ip link set eth0 up Then ping your router using the ip address, not a name. Let me know your results. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
