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.
That doesn't sound right. A bridged network should take an address on
the same subnet as its host. Are you sure the VM isn't set to nat
instead of bridged?
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.
NAT and bridged are 2 different settings. Shut down the VM, change the
setting for the interface and restart.
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?
In a bridged configuration the guest settings should look very much like
the host's - just with a different IP address as though it were a
different NIC on the same subnet.
