Unable to connect to Internet from VMware workstation 6.5.0

[pravlm]

Hi,

I have kubuntu installed which is guest OS on a Vista host.

The problem is I cannot connect to the internet. I am using NAT but still it fails to connect.

The output of sudo ifconfig is shown below.


$ sudo ifconfig

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:29:e5:93:58

Any idea what configuration should I change in VMWare or should I have to modify anything in VISTA.

Can you post the output of the following from Kubuntu :

cat /etc/resolv.conf
route -n
ifconfig -a

And when you would use the "bridged" host interface option in VMware, then you wouldn't need to make any changes in the VMware host OS.

With NAT in the VMware guest I'm not sure changes are needed.
