Hi,

I installed CentOs on VMware running on windows XP.

When trying to configure it to connect to the internet, I get an error message when trying to bring up the network interface:

[root@VMLinux ~]# /et/init.d/network start
Bringing up loopback interface:                   [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface eth0:
Determining IP information for eth0... failed
                                                  [FAILED]
  • VM is running on a machine that has access to the network, I tried it on two different networks that have DHCP enabled.
  • I tried to configure VMWare to use a bridged connection as well as NAT connection.
  • An image of Ubuntu runs fine on the same VMware.

What am I missing here?

Thanks.
