Unable to connect to the Internet

Hi All,

 

I have OS X tiger running through VMware Workstation.

 

However I do not have any internet access. I have looked far and wide, across the great expanses of cyberspace in seeking a solution, and have tried several of these, but I still do not have internet access.

 

I have tried the following in an effort to get the internet working:

 

1).

 

For networking in 10.4.8, add the line ethernet0.virtualDev=”e1000″ to the file

 

2).

 

Downloaded the Maxxuss driver here [link: http://######.com/software/Maxxuss-AMDPCNET-v1.0.zip]

 

• Unzip the file to extract the ISO

• Mount the ISO in VMware

• Make sure you have Ethernet enabled in VMware (host-only, bridged, NAT, etc.)

• Boot the virtual machine (there should be a Maxxuss CD icon)

• Open the Maxxuss CD

• Go into the MaxxussAMDPCNET folder

• Create a new folder called 'network' (without quotations) on the desktop

• Copy all the contents of the MaxxussAMDPCNET folder in the CD into the 'network' folder

• Now copy just the MaxxussAMDPCNET.kext file inside the Maxxuss folder to your home folder

(/Users/<yourusername>)

 

• Open a terminal window

• Type in the following command and press Enter

sudo Desktop/network/install.sh

• When prompted for your password, enter it

• If all goes well, the command should silently complete with no messages on the screen and it should return to

a blank command prompt

• If you see some sort of error, write it down and send me a message or post a topic in the forums

• Now, reboot the VM and networking should work!

 

I have tried various VMware Ethernet settings, e.g.: Bridged, NAT & Host Only, still without any success.

 

Currently my configuration file for VMware looks like this:

 

config.version = "8"
virtualHW.version = "6"
scsi0.present = "TRUE"
memsize = "412"
ide0:0.present = "TRUE"
ide0:0.fileName = "Windows NT.vmdk"

ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-raw"
floppy0.autodetect = "TRUE"
ethernet0.present = "TRUE"
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet0.connectionType = "nat"
ethernet0.wakeOnPcktRcv = "FALSE"
sound.present = "TRUE"
sound.fileName = "-1"
sound.autodetect = "TRUE"
svga.autodetect = "TRUE"
pciBridge0.present = "TRUE"
mks.keyboardFilter = "allow"
displayName = "Apple OS X"
guestOS = "winnt"
nvram = "Windows NT.nvram"
deploymentPlatform = "windows"
virtualHW.productCompatibility = "hosted"
tools.upgrade.policy = "useGlobal"

ide1:0.autodetect = "FALSE"
floppy0.fileName = "A:"
extendedConfigFile = "Windows NT.vmxf"

ide1:0.exclusive = "TRUE"
floppy0.startConnected = "FALSE"

uuid.location = "56 4d 76 ba 74 ec 2e be-7d ed 0e 59 59 e9 c5 1f"
uuid.bios = "56 4d 76 ba 74 ec 2e be-7d ed 0e 59 59 e9 c5 1f"
ide0:0.redo = ""
pciBridge0.pciSlotNumber = "17"
scsi0.pciSlotNumber = "16"
ethernet0.pciSlotNumber = "32"
sound.pciSlotNumber = "33"

tools.remindInstall = "TRUE"

numvcpus = "1"

ide0:1.present = "TRUE"
ide0:1.fileName = "C:\Documents and Settings\davidd\Desktop\Maxxuss-AMDPCNET-v1.0\Maxxuss-AMDPCNET-v1.0.iso"
ide0:1.deviceType = "cdrom-image"

ide0:1.startConnected = "FALSE"

ethernet1.present = "FALSE"
ethernet1.virtualDev = "vlance"
ethernet1.connectionType = "bridged"
ethernet1.wakeOnPcktRcv = "FALSE"

ethernet1.addressType = "generated"
ethernet1.pciSlotNumber = "-1"
ethernet1.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:e9:c5:29"
ethernet1.generatedAddressOffset = "10"

paevm="true"

ethernet0.vnet = "VMnet8"

ethernet0.addressType = "generated"
ethernet0.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:e9:c5:1f"
ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = "0"

 

If anybody can offer any help regarding how to get Internet access going it will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Dave

What connect metod between wmvare and host do You use?

 

Nat, bridge or something else?

 

Is Your os-x driver working? (try "ipconfig")

Are You on the same subnet (watch Your IP/mask settings on both devices)

Can You ping your host IP?

Doesn't Your firewall on host block Your DNS requests? (add UDP 53 pass)

Hello Jackson,

 

Thanks for your attention to my post, sorry that I have not replied to your inquiry earlier.

 

In answer to your questions:

 

1). I installed the Maxxuss driver the operating system installed.

2). The version of Mac OS X that I am running is 10.4.8.

 

Cheers

 

Davo

 

Hello Mykl,

 

Thanks for your interest in my post.

 

In answer to your questions;

 

1). I believe that the driver is working, because an IP address had been automatically assigned to the OS.

2). I wasn't on the same subnet (I have since changed this without any improvement in functionality)

3). I cannot pint my host IP.

4). My firewall does not have UDP 53 enabled, however this has not been a concern to other Operating Systems running in VMware Workstation (incl. XP & Ubuntu).

 

I have tried various connection methods, including NAT & bridged.

 

Any further assistance will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Davo

If You can't ping Your host IP, Your adapter seems not working well

or if You are on different subnet, check if Your router table is set okay on the host PC.

 

Maybe you should try bridged method with same subnet and "IP+1" address to figure

out, where the problem is. Then try to ping from VMWare (IP+1) to host (IP) and if succed

we can move ahead...
