I'm hoping some of you here have run gentoo on a windows host and will |
| 2 |
know something about the various networking possibilities. |

My setup: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Wireless connected laptop running windows vista premium home |
| 7 |
Local lan network connected to internet via cable. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Home router has the internet connection and wireless laptop is joined |
| 10 |
into lan by a WAP (Wireless access point). With static ip addressing |
| 11 |
(not dhcp). |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
When setting up gentoo in the virtual machine you have two main |
| 14 |
approaches to networking. Bridged and Nat. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Can anyone tell me which is best suited for my setup. |
| 17 |
Starting the 2008.0 minimal iso file in vmware... I end up with a |
| 18 |
working network immediately without doing a thing. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Maybe I can just transfer those settings somehow but there are no |
| 21 |
setting in /etc/conf.d/net on the install disk. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
It appears to have gotten an address from a dhcp server built into |
| 24 |
vmware. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I don't want to jerk around with wireless setting for the gentoo |
| 27 |
install and would prefer to connect thru the hosts ip and nameserver. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Should I use `Bridged' or `Nat'. And how to set it up after making |
| 30 |
that decision. |
