Can't configure network on Virtual PC using NAT
Hello, I can't configure network on Virtual PC 2007. Im using NAT.
I am able to "dhcpcd eth0" and get the following result:
dhcpcd: eth0: broadcasting for a lease
dhcpcd: eth0: offered 192.168.131.65 from 192.168.131.254
[...]
dhcpcd: eth0: leased 192.168.131.65 for 536870911 seconds
dhcpcd: forking to backgroundBut I can't resolve host names, I can't ping 4.2.2.2 and I can't even ping 192.168.131.254.
Actually, the only IP I can ping is 192.168.131.65 (my local IP).
So, I need some help to setup my network.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Can't configure network on Virtual PC using NAT
What is the output of /sbin/route -n ? What error do you get when trying to ping other hosts?

Re: Can't configure network on Virtual PC using NAT
Output from /sbin/route -n is:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.131.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 202 0 0 eth0

UOW... while I am writting this post, I realized that internet is actually WORKING. Well, one hour ago, I tried to install VirtualBox, and VirtualBox installed some new network adapter on my Windows. (But VirtualBox crashes under my Windows 7 when booting Linux kernel)
So, I guess that MAYBE that VirtualBox network adapter is making my internet work, because it was not working before I install it. So, MAYBE this is a tip for people that can't get internet to work under VirtualPC.
Anyway, thank you very much.

Hello ar507eg!
"But VirtualBox crashes under my Windows 7 when booting Linux kernel" <- Please use the 3.0.6 beta version which is available from their site, this is a known bug with the earlier version.
