Fedora Core 5, DHCP, DNS from home not so good
To follow up my own message.
At home, with my more primitive dhcp-enabled network (using an old Mac running IPNetRouter) I do not seem to get DNS when I bridge to my wireless connection, although I am assigned an IP. In the Network widget within Fedora, I do seem to have a DNS address that is right -- it's the one that appears in /etc/resolv.conf on my OS X host -- and if I run /sbin/ifconfig, I do have a proper looking IP for my Fedora, but I can't ping any outside machines. If I shut the Fedora VM down, reset the network bridging to en0 and re-start Fedora, I do get DNS and network accessibility.
My earlier post was from work and there it seemed DNS worked regardless of whether I bridged to en0 or en1.
So something is still not quite right network wise, either on the Linux side or with Parallels itself.
