Is it me or some issues with the software?
Had VMWare workstation on my old portable and I could generally install
so that I had an address assigned by a VMWare local DHCP server and also
a local DNS proxy in VMWare which delegates to the DNS server that is
assigned to my portable by my LAN DHCP. It also acts as a router - so I
can access the host, the host cann access the VM, and the VM can access
the internet.
I'm having trouble achieving the same sort of thing with VBox 2.2. As
far as I can see, the NAT option allows me access to the internet, bit
not the host PC. The host PC can't access the VM either. The host
local option allows me to access the host and vice-versa - but the VM
DHCP is setting up DNS server addresses as 0.0.0.0 and there does not
seem to be routing either.
I tried enabling two LANs in the VM - oone of each. But the netwaork
manager with Debian 5 seems to want to switch between them, not allow both.
Am I going to have to disable NM and get messy with /etc (which I've
lazily forgotton how to edit etc).
Seems a shame that VBox should be so much harder to set up than VMWare. :-(
Any hints?
James
