There are several different ways of making the UML guest communicate with the host, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. The "old site" has a fairly comprehensive review of networking methods for UML, which explains how they differ: http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/old/networking.html Since you're running Ubuntu, IMHO the easiest way to have the UML guest access the internet as a *client* is by use of the "slirp" program, which requires no root access. 1. Install the `slirp` package on the Ubuntu *host*: sudo apt-get install slirp 2. Run the UML guest with `eth0=slirp,,slirp-fullbolt`, e.g.: ./linux ubda=Debian-Squeeze-x86-root_fs umid=myuml mem=128m eth0=slirp,,slirp-fullbolt (You can also use `mconsole` to configure it in a running UML.) 3. Now configure the network in the Debian UML guest; as root edit the `/etc/network/interfaces` file so that it has the following content: # Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or # /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information. auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.0.2.15 netmask 255.255.0.0 up route add -net 0.0.0.0 dev eth0 up route add -net 0.0.0.0 gw 10.0.2.2 Then you can run the command: ifup eth0 and you should be able to access the net from inside the UML guest.
