Guest Falcon Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 I installed 9.1 in VMware on my win2kpro laptop. I cant get my internet/network connection working. I have been through the configuration several times....no luck. How do I get this working. Falcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 have you set up VMware correctly to allow a connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitor Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 I've had the same problem for both Mandrake 9.0 and 9.1. Finally I found the solution in the VMWare knowledge base: http://www.vmware.com/support/kb/enduser/s...fcGFnZT0x&p_li= To work around this problem, become root (su -) and use a text editor to edit the following files in the guest operating system: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth[n] /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth[n] In both cases, [n] is the number of the Ethernet adapter -- for example, eth0. In each of the two files, add the following line: MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes Then run the command ifup eth[n] (where [n] is the number of the Ethernet adapter) or restart the guest operating system. Good luck, Sitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Falcon Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Appreciate the help, I followed your instructions and still get the same thing. A couple things; I am using a wireless card for my network access on the host however I do have an ethernet card as well. When I go into the control center it shows my ethernet card is down. I try the wizard and it fails. I noticed my virtual machine has its own IP, do I need to configure it via expert mode or is this something I need to do on the host machine (win2k pro)?
