Hi,
I have a guest Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on Windows 7 enterprise host in a corporate network.
What changes should I make in the guest OS so that I can ssh/ping linux servers in the LAN.
example : in the Ubuntu guest OS
ubuntu@ubunut:-$ ssh username@<linuxservername>
ssh: could not resolve hostname <linuxservername>: Name or service not known
But if I enter the IP address I can login to the linux server after entering my password
ubuntu@ubunut:-$ ssh username@<ip of linux server>
This works and I am able to login to the server
What changes are needed in the Ubuntu guest OS ?
Thanks

Re: Cannot resolve computer names / servers on LAN from Gues
You should be using Bridged mode for the network adapter and then the guest will look like any other PC in the LAN. To be able to join the Linux OS to the Windows domain is outside the scope of this forum but Ubuntu help has a detailed description on how to do what you are looking for.
