cant get network to work

Post by MrStinky »

Hi all,

i read the manual and i got my network to work when its on dhcp in my virtual machine, however when i want to set a fixed ip address i cannot get it to work. I tried to route add but that didnt work. Can someone maybe slap me and tell me what im doing wrong? tnx in advance prolly something very simple.
Btw my host is windows 2003 and my virtual machine is also windows 2003.

You need to post more information.

What guest OS ?

How did you set up your network ? Did you bridge your ethernet card ?
If is a virtual machine, is it still broken ?

guest os is also windows 2003 standard edition.
the network i setup to nat and host interface however neither worked. only if i have a dhcp server on my network it will allow internet to work on it not if i put a fixed ip to it. didnt bridge yet like u said cuz i dont know how ( looked at manual but couldnt find the info in there to do it ).
