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.
