Is there a way to have a static ip address using shared networking? I'm using Parallels 4.0 on OS X. In Parallels Desktop -> Preferences -> Networking I set the DHCP address range to 10.211.55.1 to 10.211.55.99. I then reconfigured my guest OS to use static networking and set it to 10.211.55.101. I could ping 10.211.55.1 and 10.211.55.2, but nothing else.
Make sure that in Guest OS the netmask is 255.255.255.0 and gateway is 10.211.55.1 If this won't help and you are running Windows, post here the output of the "ipconfig /all" command.
I'm using openbsd, but I can probably give you something similar to what you want. Here's the output of netstat and ifconfig. I'm going to try rebooting it (that's just wrong) but in the meantime here's the info: # netstat -nr -f inet Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Mtu Prio Iface default 10.211.55.1 UGS 0 304003 - 8 ne3 10.211.55/24 link#1 UC 2 0 - 4 ne3 10.211.55.1 00:1c:42:00:00:18 UHLc 1 1 - 4 ne3 10.211.55.2 00:1c:42:00:00:08 UHLc 1 82 - 4 ne3 10.211.55.4 127.0.0.1 UGHS 0 0 33204 8 lo0 127/8 127.0.0.1 UGRS 0 0 33204 8 lo0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 2 348 33204 4 lo0 224/4 127.0.0.1 URS 0 0 33204 8 lo0 # ifconfig lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 33204 priority: 0 groups: lo inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 ne3: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr 00:1c:42:bb:ee:c9 description: Parallels static address priority: 0 groups: egress media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT) inet6 fe80::21c:42ff:febb:eec9%ne3 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 10.211.55.101 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.211.55.255 enc0: flags=0<> mtu 1536 priority: 0
Gah. I'm sorry. Rebooting fixed it. I must have missed something when changing it from dhcp. Sorry, forget I asked anything! Thanks for the fast response though.
