No if he's assigned 172.16/16 to the VM network he hasn't. VB defaults |
| 27 |
to a NAT'd network and it's always given me grief. I was going to |
| 28 |
suggest he switched to bridged. |
| 29 |

In settings, change the network adaptor type to bridged, and then the VM |
| 31 |
will get its settings and IP address from the DHCP server serving the |
| 32 |
local network. Makes things MUCH easier. |
