(Actually, I only suspect that DNS trick will work, as I'm no expert at Mac DNS.īetter "ping -n" those addresses first from the Mac to make sure they're accessible.) "/etc/nf" to reference the same name servers the Verizon modem usesĪs indicated by the Windows "ipconfig /all" output. Last (I think) you need to tell your Mac what to use for DNS. To test the Windows internet sharing from the Mac, see if you can ping your Verizon gateway. That way, your VM will be the Mac host's internet gateway, and the VM's internetĬonnection sharing will route the packets properly. If successful, it shouldĪdd a line to the "netstat -nr" output that looks like: Of course, you need to do that as root, so "sudo" it, if required. The gateway command I gave you before was more Linux-ish. That's good, because it means adding a gateway shouldn'tīefore adding the gateway, make sure your bridged host-VM connection works You'll notice that none of the Internet destinations in the "netstat -nr" output have the Host (Mac OS), as if you were sharing your internet connection with the rest of your I'm not sure what kind of nomenclature that system uses,īut basically you're going to be sharing your VM's internet connection with your Internet connection sharing between your Ethernet adapter (VM-host) and Also, on the Windows side, you need to setup

Is it a matter of adding this address as the default gateway on the Mac side?īasically, yes, although it's whatever the VM IP address turns out to be when I think you need to use bridge mode to do what you're planning on doing.ġ92.168.86.129 (vmnet1) appears to be the common denominator here.

Imagine, littering my system with pseudo-interfaces! If you look aroundĪ bit, you'll find that's not all the clutter they leave around. If on first start, the virtual machine displays a warning that a network interface was not found, press Change Network Settings and select the Name of your host's primary network adapter.Those "en2" and "en3" connections were Parallels connections, I believe.Īside: Now you know why I decided on VMware instead of Parallels. Depending on your host's network configuration, you might have to adjust the network settings of the virtual machine.In VirtualBox, start the virtual machine.The virtual machine is now added to your library.
