Windows 7 + linux guest + internet

Post by msdobrescu »

Hello,

I am a newbie at network configuration.

I have an Windows 7 Guest, VB 3.2.6, a Mandriva guest.
I need Mandriva to be web server - among others.
I need to configure them to access the host shared folders over network, to access the web server from the host browser and from the network, to access the internet from the guest (in order to perform updates for example).
I have no router and I connect from the host to the internet using pppoe (the ISP dns will give me one address only for the host).

How could I configure the VB and guest in order to accomplish these?

Thank you,
Mike
