I have a Ubuntu Server 9.04 image set up in VMWare Fusion 3.0.0, using the NAT option for the guest's network connection. From the Mac host, I can ssh to the linux guest just fine using it's IP address, but I would like to be able to refer to it by hostname for convenience. ie:
mac-host:~ ssh user@linux-guest.local
I had a similar setup using Parallels a couple years ago, but I don't remember how it was set up. It may have "just worked".
Any suggestion on how to make this work?
This is great...if your on an OSX host. Wish I could find the windows equivalent somewhere. – TJ L – 2010-09-15T14:19:58.397
1Great info. Thanks. 2 updates for v4.x
Location of dhcpd.conf is now: "/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/"
In Fusion 4, the networking service does not run when Fusion is shut down. To restart the networking service, restart Fusion.
