I have a VMWare Fusion host (OSX Mountain Lion) with an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS virtual. The host is connected to a LAN through a router/switch. I have another machine (OSX Mountain Lion) on the LAN that I would like to use as an SSH client for the Ubuntu virtual.
Note: sshd is already setup and working from the host to the virtual.
The Ubuntu virtual machine can access the internet fine. eth0 is bound to a 172 address, and my host has two virtual interfaces (vmnet1 & vmnet8) on the 172 subnet as well.
How can I make the virtual machine accessible to the LAN? Can it join the 192 network, or do I have to run some sort of NAT on my host? What is the best approach here?
Thanks
For clarity, when you create a VM there is an option to use a bridged network which I missed. This can apparently only be set when first creating the instance. Afterwards, you can set eth0 to DHCP and all is well. – blu – 2013-03-02T21:37:10.640
You can usually change it afterwards but the VM needs to be off – Srdjan Grubor – 2013-03-02T22:01:38.957
