Guest not taking same network as host

Post by bmo »

Hi All,

New to this forum. My host machine was on the same network as my host and then I changed wireless networks on the host but the guest did not follow to new network. Any suggestions would be helpful

thanks

One of these is the guest?

Based on this being posted in Linux Guests I'm going to assume you're running Linux in the guest.

I have seen Linux OS's not respond to the change in network. I'm not certain how to do this, but there should be a way to disable and re-enable the adapter inside the VM OS, which should cause it to re-evaluate the provide network.

Or you've set a status IP address in the guest OS?
