VPC 6.1 and OS X networking together on a PowerBook G4
Authored by: lilgto64 on Jun 27, '04 06:11:08PM
Interesting. And works - fast networking between guet and host OS but muxh slower networking from guest to outside world using the share built-in ethernet when AIrport is the only live connection.
Alsol interesting and perhaps where some have gotten into trouble is that (for me at least) when I shared my Airport connection over the built-in ethenet, the default gateway of the guest OS and the IP address of the guest OS where 192.168.2.x rather than 192.168.1.x.
While this works well enough to IP between guest and host - it adds an additioanl bridging layer between the guest OS and the "real" network outside the system.
On the plus side for most folks they may only predominately need one or the other and not both and it seems that you can change the VPC network prefs at the application level (from Airport to Built-in) while you have a guest OS is a saved state without having to discard that saved state and reboot the guest OS (as you would have to do if you disable or enable networking in the guest settings with a saved state).
