Sharing internet to Ubuntu 12.04 VMWare guest

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 5764 / 2 Years ago, tue, august 23, 2022, 8:57:51

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my Mac VMWare Fusion (Version 4.1.2).
The installation went fine and Ubuntu seemed to update itself during the install.
After reboot I cannot get Ubuntu to access the internet via my Macs Ethernet connection (Connected to a router). I have tried to set the VMWare network adaptor to NAT or bridged and Host only without success.

In Ubuntu I have the eth0 set to Automatic DHCP. VMWare tools are installed as well.

I know next to nothing about what to do here and net searches on both Stackoverflow and Superuser sites are producing not results for me.

Could someone please help?

I had this same problem, except I was on VirtualBox. I resolved it by configuring my VM in bridged mode.

I would make sure you check your DNS resolution on your guest OS, for example:

ping google.ca

ping 173.194.73.94

Try both pings, if the bottom one resolves it means you just need to configure the DNS on your guest OS.

If this is the case, you can easily use google's DNS servers and you should be up and running in little time.

Hope that help, cheers!
