Best Network Option

Post by lyndon.buckley »

I want to run an Ubuntu web server on my Mac OS X

So that :

a) the source folder is a local folder on my Mac (i plan on using Samba + smbmount for this)
b) the virtual hosts on Ubuntu can be accessed from my Mac
c) the i.p. addresses used always remain the same, whether i am connected to WiFi Network or running locally
d) the Ubuntu VM is able to access the internet when host is connected.

what is the best network setup for this?
