Sharing internet to Ubuntu 12.04 VMWare guest
- by John Cogan
Got the 12.04 distro and installed this on my Mac VMWare Fusion (Version 4.1.2).
Install went fine and Ubuntu seemed to update itself during the install.
Rebooted and now I cannot get Ubuntu to access the internet via my Macs Ethernet connection (Connected to a router)
Have tried settings the VMWare network adaptor to NAT or bridged and Host only without success.
In Ubuntu I have the eth0 set to Automatic DHCP.
VMWare tools is installed as well.
I know next to nothing about what to do here and net searches on both Stackoverflow and Superuser sites are producing not results for me.
Could someone please help? What to eventually have Ubuntu run in the background as a development web server running Zend Framework and CE Server edition but need thew internet access to run updates etc on Ubuntu.
Any help would be really appreciated.
TIA
John
