Hey, bridged networking has stopped working on both my VM's (both debian linux) completely out of the blue. It was working fine a few days ago and now something wierd is going on. I can obtain an IP address from my DHCP server but if i then try to ping that same dhcp server or any other machine on the network I get 'Destination Host Unreachable' errors. I have tried the usual stuff of bringing down and up interfaces, renewing my dhcp lease but to no avail. Everything works fine if i use shared networking but unfortunately that is not what I need. I have tried reinstalling parallels and am now installing a new VM to test. Any suggestions? Thanks, version5
Why do you need to use Bridged Networking instead of Shared Networking? Is there some problem with using Shared Networking?
Yea, I need to be able to access the VM's from the network. Anyways, the issue appears to have resolved itself. I installed a new vm and everything worked fine, then i went back to the old vms and suddenly they are working as well. I would prefer a satisfactory answer as to why it stopped working in the first place but I'll just settle for it being working
...and that can't be done using Shared Networking? I'm asking because I really don't know so, if you know that's true, and/or you know WHY it's true, I would appreciate the infor - or point me to a URL that might help.
