I've set up a Debian7 VM for PHP development, according to this guide: https://jtreminio.com/2012/07/setting-up-a-debian-vm-step-by-step/
It worked great, initially. But after restarting my Windows 7 host, I can't SSH in to the server anymore, or access files via SAMBA.
The VM has 2 Network Adapters. The first one NAT, which was its default setting. And the second one Host-Only.
The idea being that I can do stuff like http://mysite.dev/ but also SSH in to the VM, set up network drives on windows via SAMBA and still use apt-get update.
Right now, I can still run apt-get update, but any attempt to SSH in to the VM, open a network drive or view a website I made on it just fails.
My interfaces file has the following code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.56.101
netmask 255.255.255.0
My windows hosts file contains a line for the VM and all the websites, and it worked before I restarted the windows host.
Running sudo ifup -v eth1 command gives the following error:
RTNETLINK answer: File exists
Meaning the gateway route is already listed in the ip table.
This seems very odd, as I don't even list a gateway in the settings... So why is this happening?
And before anyone pulls out their hairs trying to fix this like I did I want to ask: is it possible to run this setup with only 1 interface?
I don't really know a lot about networking. Do you really need 2 interfaces to do all this? 1 for standard internet connectivity and another one that's host-only?
