Directly from my F27 (thanks Fedora team!) workstation that hosts virtual boxes: [cristi@s222 network-scripts]$ cat ifcfg-enp0s25 TYPE=Ethernet #PROXY_METHOD=none #BROWSER_ONLY=no BOOTPROTO=none DEFROUTE=yes #IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes #IPV6INIT=yes #IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes #IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes #IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no #IPV6_ADDR_GEN_MODE=stable-privacy NAME=enp0s25 UUID=a78eed75-14d9-3cec-8ae0-0b914751495a ONBOOT=yes #AUTOCONNECT_PRIORITY=-999 DEVICE=enp0s25 #IPADDR=193.a.b.222 #PREFIX=27 #GATEWAY=193.a.b.193 #DNS1=193.a.b.52 #DNS2=193.a.b.254 #DOMAIN="domain1.ro" #IPV6_PRIVACY=no BRIDGE=bridge0 [cristi@s222 network-scripts]$ cat ifcfg-bridge0 DEVICE=bridge0 TYPE=Bridge IPADDR=193.a.b.222 NETMASK=255.255.255.224 GATEWAY=193.a.b.193 DNS1=193.a.b.52 DNS2=193.a.b.254 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none I think it's clear enough that you have all you need to go from ifcfg- enp0s25 to ifcfg-enp0s25 & ifcfg-bridge0 and also do a reverse thing. > > > It should also be an option at install time to choose bridge > > instead > > normal ethernet. > > What use would a bridge be for installing?

So you will put one in a virtual box. You have a workstation and you need wine in a different box and accessed from around stations. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
