  • 1.  How to communicate with VM when configured using NAT

    Posted Mar 28, 2007 06:13 PM

    How can I communicate with the VM? I tried pinging the VM's IP address from Mac OS X but it didn't find anything. This is all it takes on Parallels. I assume this has been discussed somewhere but I can't find where.

    I tried pinging the VM's IP address from Mac OS X but it didn't find anything.

    For an explanation, see Host to Guest networking fails using NAT[/url] or Guest via NAT works, but Host can't ping guest[/url].

    To get this to work, either use bridged networking or edit the config file as described in those (or similar) threads.

    Pinging the guest VM can also be solved using Bridged-mode where the guest OS can either acquire it's address from a DHCP server on your LAN or use a static IP address.
