(Please choose reply-all to keep the list informed of progress) You don't need to touch Windows - that 172 address is the correct nameserver address, VMWare creates a virtual network within your machine. You're only in scratchbox when you double-click the desktop icon for Scratchbox _inside_ of VMWare. What you need to do is copy the nameserver line from /etc/resolv.conf in VMWare but _outside_ of scratchbox to the /etc/resolv.conf that is visible from within each target. (you can install nano in the targets to do this easiest - fakeroot nano /etc/resolv.conf will let you edit the /etc/resolv.conf inside that scratchbox target) Merrick Fonnesbeck wrote: > So I need to use Ipconfig in Windows XP to find my DHCP server address > and change the "nameserver" line in the resolv.conf file to that address > right?
