Use your own address, netmask, and gateway! But you can use nameservers above, they are just OpenDns.ħ. Open /etc/network/interfaces and make sure it’s configured like this: When you press F4 for editing file you’ll be prompted to pick your favorite editor. I use mcedit.Ħ. Switch to root mode by typing sudo bash. I use Midnight Commander editor to edit files, if you don’t have one, just add it with apt-get install mc. Click Advanced and type your MAC address from step (2) here.ĥ. We finished with VMWare, it’s time to set up our Linux.

Select “Network adapter” and make sure your settings are the same:Ĥ. In VMWare right click on your guest OS name and click “Settings”.

You will need this address on the next steps.ģ. The easiest way to find your mac address is to type ipconfig /all | more (from Windows). Hetzner routers allow packets sent only from real MAC. When you finished installing your Linux, VMWare automatically configures it to be located inside your internal network, without any real IP addresses. We must fix that.Ģ. Find out real MAC address of your real server network card. And another one will be assigned inside guest OS (Linux). You have two IP addresses, you must assign one IP address to your Windows machine. When you finish, just ping something to make sure you can access internet. Personally, I used Ubuntu 14.04 minimal iso for my installation. Install it as usual from VMWare UI with Ubuntu packages you want. So I will cover only this software in this post. I use VMWare to keep my guest operating systems. If you don’t have second IP – go and grab it for just 2 EUR/month. What I want to do is to run Linux guest OS inside of Windows host. I have Windows installed on my physical server (need that to run Microsoft SQL Server running – it’s always better to your SQL server installed outside VM). I use Hetzner and keep my dedicated server there.
