Virtual Machine getting networking to work...
If there is already a wiki entry or forum post on this that I missed, please just post me the link and I'll close the thread.
Using VMware workstation 6.5 I installed arch linux. This is my ifconfig eth0 output:
inet addr: 192.168.0.2 Bcast: 192.168.0.255 Mask 255.255.255.0Everything is currently on defaults... Not sure why a ping won't resolve any hosts.
Any ideas?... Thanks in advance.

Re: Virtual Machine getting networking to work...
What is the default networking method under VMWare? I.e., are you using bridged networking, host only networking, or NAT?
Unless you have a special need for another method, you should probably use NAT. It's by far the easiest and quickest way to give your guest networking capabilities.

Re: Virtual Machine getting networking to work...
The default is NAT and that is what it is set to. Networking works under all other guest systems so I am baffled as to why this isn't working. The virtualized NIC obviously works as well which makes it all the more frustrating.
