VPC 6.1 and OS X networking together on a PowerBook G4
To allow a communication on both sides "Mac OS X" & "Virtual PC", I did the following and it worked perfectly, I have a DSL connection and I had to switch the Network location everytime I wanted to connect to VPC or internet.
First check if there is any entry for the ethernet/port
by typing in the Terminal window:
it should be in the begining of the line "en0:", in my case I had no entry for "en0".
Type the command:
to remove:
You can put of course any IP address. ;-) On VPC I have Windows installed and have set the Network TCP/IP settings as follows (Fixed IP Address): On Virtual PC, you have to set the Networking preferences of the Virtual Machine to "Virtual Switch". You should be able to communicate on both ways. I have installed a server application on VPC and it worked fine. From the PC I was able to connect to my local Apache Web server. Additional tip, you can also communicate with a second computer that way. I have a mini network with 2 computers connected via ethernet. The second computer has the address 192.168.1.5. This tip allows me to surf on my Mac via my standard internet connection and connect at the same time on my 2nd PC (not connected to the internet) and to VirtualPC. I hope this will help some of you. |
