Host: Windows XP
Guest: Centos 4.5
Use a Linksys router with an ethernet cable to connect to the internet.
What I need to do: Set up a bridge connection without DHCP. I need this so I can install Oracle RAC. No other options will work. Following the instructions from here: http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/26?page=0%2C0
Where I am at:
1. I can ping my guest OS from my Host OS and vice versa
2. Cannot connect to the internet from guest OS
3. Cannot open an ftp connection (I am running the ftp server on guest and I have it running)
/sbin/service/vsftpd start
Not sure what else to do.
In the centos gui
System Settings -> Network
edit eth0:
Check Statically set IP address
Address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Activate
eth0: set to bridge in vmware settings
My windows XP ipconfig /all
