Problem: Fail to get DHCP address in the guest OS(Fedora 4), in XP no problem.
System P4 1.5G 512MB, XP, Vmware 5 build 13124, Guest OS: Fedora 4.
Network card under XP is Intel ®ro/100VE
The device network option under Vmware that I choose for the fedora 4 is: Bridged.
Notices that under the guest OS the network card detected is : AMD 79c970 Pcnet32 LANCE and the status is o.k.
This seem should not correct as the physical card is Intel ®RO.
So I try to remove the AMD and choose a closer Ethernet option Intel Express PRO 100B and select and IRQ 3 (default is none)
Than I activate the eth0 and the system trying to obtain the IP address but fail.
Also notice that under the hardware tap: the AMD is still present and status is o.k. but the Intel Express Pro is still inactive.
Can some one advice? Thanks. |
