Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / December 2005shared networking problems
I installed VPC7 on a G5 running MacOS X Server 10.4.3, copied a VPC6 virtual machine from another mac, converted it to VPC7 and started it up. OK so far. But shared networking is broken. The interface receives info via DHCP, but it can't reach the DNS server. VPC creates and bridges the subnet 192.168.131 on my internal 10.0.1 network. From WindowsXP I can ping all nodes by IP - except the DNS server. I installed VPC7 on that other mac, re-copied the new virtual machine, and ... drumroll ... it works fine, including DNS! My G5 has two ethernet interfaces and my real aim is to use the virtual switch "feature" on the extra one. But, of course, it's broken and will be fixed "soon". Any suggestion on how to get shared networking going? Thanks. >My G5 has two ethernet interfaces and my real aim >is to use the virtual > >switch "feature" on the extra one.

As for the DNS issue.....add a DNS server address in the TCP/IP properties window of your virtual machine. I use 4.2.2.2 (Yahoo's public DNS server) and it works fine. OK, I updated to 7.0.2 but have not yet tried virtual switch. Still no connection using the DHCP supplied DNS server. I changed it to 4.2.2.2, still no go. >ipconfig /all Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : FENSTER Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel 21041-Based PCI Ethernet Adapter (Generic) #2 Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-03-FF-64-56-B4 Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.131.66 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.131.254 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.131.254 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 4.2.2.2 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Thursday, December 29, 2005 5:51:20 AM Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Tuesday, January 03, 2023 12:39:51 AM >ping 17.254.0.91 Pinging 17.254.0.91 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 17.254.0.91: bytes=32 time=736ms TTL=238 Reply from 17.254.0.91: bytes=32 time=746ms TTL=238 Reply from 17.254.0.91: bytes=32 time=657ms TTL=238 Reply from 17.254.0.91: bytes=32 time=596ms TTL=238 Ping statistics for 17.254.0.91: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 596ms, Maximum = 746ms, Average = 683ms >ping www.apple.com Ping request could not find host www.apple.com.

I didn't even know that Connectix had been swallowed by Micro$oft before I started looking for help on networking. Anyhow, virtual switch does indeed work with 7.0.2, even with my own DNS server. Anyhow part 2, I still wonder why shared networking doesn't work for me. With 'some' connections, Shared Networking just will not work whereas Virtual Switch does. Same is true for vice-versa I do believe it may have something to do with the settings on the Mac side, but I'm just not sure what setting is causing it. |
