Hi All,
I am having a problem with Host Interface Networking that has me
stumped. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, especially when this has
worked before. I am hoping another set of eyes will help.
Here's the scenario. I have a machine with Win XP Pro. I want to have a
virtual ubuntu 8.04 server running on it, primarily for the MySQL
Server. That means my host has to be able to communicate with the guest OS.
I created a virtual adapter and assigned it a static IP address in
Windows (192.168.42.197). All I set for the adapter was the IP address
and netmask (nothing else). I set the first VM interface to DHCP (that
gets me the internet access) and the second is bound to the virtual
adapter I just described. I then modified the interfaces file (after
Ubuntu was installed, of course) as follows:
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.42.198
netmask 255.255.255.0
I have disabled the windows firewall.
I cannot ping from one machine to another. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.
