Linux VM - Virtual switch - How do I connect from another machine

Hi there

help @Kari please --you must be getting sick of this but thanks really appreciate your time - networking isn't my strong speciality !!!

I'll go back to the previous post once I'm all sorted

but got a question here

ifconfig for the VM shows address as 172.18.10.143



want I need is an address like 192.168.0.xx

Do I need to set up Virtual switch or whatever -- this is the part where I'm stuck

I can logon to the VM from the HYPER-V connect panel on the Host but I can't access or even see it on any other machines on the LAN although the VM has full Internet capability (Firefox) so that's working.

I need to get an address of something like 192.168.0.xx (or whatever DHCP on your router dishes our as real IP addresses).

XRDP / tight VMC servers all working on the Linux VM so RDP from windows should work but the IP address is bonkers !!!

Hi there

@Kari
realized that after seeing the default uses NAT -- created external switch --fine now

was too quick on the mouse clicks --I should read menus etc more slowly !!!



Rest should be plain sailing now



BTW for Centos

1) TYPE 2 fails to boot, Type 1 OK

2) can't use enhanced mode -- so to get decent screen resolution instead of default (853 X 111?? or something weird) as su use grubby to set to 1920 X 1080 for laptop full screen

Sound as stated - problem but not bothered yet -- might mess around with XRDP / VMC server on the VM to bring it across from Windows via bog standard RDP.

Thanks for all help

Marking as solved.
