Hi all,
I have recently acquired a Macbook Pro (sweet machine!) from my
employer, and one of the tasks the machine has to do is to run a
distributed software development platform (called Splice) under Linux.
For this task, I have chosen the trusty CentOS 4.4, and I have it set
up in Parallels. So far, so good. Now then, the network does work
within CentOS, but I want to assign it a fixed IP address, such that
the DDS layer of the distributed platform can transparently
communicate to (and from) the virtual machine.
More specifically, the entire network, in which the Splice DDS runs,
is a 192.168.1.x local network. There are already two 'real' (i.e.
not virtual) machines, with IPs 192.168.1.4 and 192.168.1.42, which
both work swell with one another.
Now, the Macbook itself has the IP address 192.168.1.121, but the
bridged network connection is a DHCP range, running from 10.211.55.1
- 10.211.55.254, and I want to be able to 'see' the VM from anywhere
within the 192.168.1.x network.
Presently, from the VM I can already see the machines in the
192.168.1.x network, but the other way round not. When the VM is e.g.
assigned the address 10.211.55.4, I cannot ping that address from the
other machines in the 192.168.1.x network. Note, from that network I
can ping correctly to 192.168.1.121.
The main question then becomes: how can I 'see' the VM from the
192.168.1.x network?
I *think* I have to change something in the parallels network or
parallels NAT configuation, but I am not certain what it should be
set to, and I do not want to risk messing up all sorts of settings.
Also, in CentOS I do know how to set a fixed IP address, but I am not
certain if perhaps I have to add a 'direct route' or so. Does anyone
know if this is (also) necessary?
Thanks in advance for any and all answers, and cheers,
Olafo
