2008-08-18 17:39:40 Carroarmato0 description Ubuntu Intrepid Alpha 4 For some reason networking doesn't work when you've set Vmware Workstation up to use a Bridged network. Networking DOES work when instead you use a Nat configuration in Vmware. In both cases, Network Manager doesn't recognize any networking device. This may be due to the proprietary nature of the virtual Vmware networking device (vmxnet).

Networking DOES work when instead you use a Nat configuration in Vmware. In both cases, Network Manager doesn't recognize any networking device. This may be due to the proprietary nature of the virtual Vmware networking device (vmxnet). ***Workaround*** Manually setup networking: 1. Manually add the pcnet32 kernel module ( #sudo modprobe pcnet32 ) 2. Start the eth0 interface ( #sudo ifconfig eth0 up ) 3. Restart networking ( #sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ) 4. Request DHCP address ( #sudo dhc_client ) 5. Test connection and interupt command with CTRL-C ( #ping google.com)
