Using host-only under VMWARE to realize Redhat linux-guest surfing the Internet and start samba service.

The following is the situation after installing vmware and vmware-tools.

1, under windows, the network card is connected to the external network, and Properties-> Advanced-> Internet connection * * * Enjoy-> Select Allow other network users to pass. . -> select vmnet 1- > for the home network connection and confirm.

2. Configure static IP under linux.

Click Little Red Riding Hood-> System Settings-> Network to open the network configuration.

Double-click the configuration file below to open the dialog box and fill in the static ip address.

Address: 1 92.168.0.21(the last digit can be written casually except1).

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway:192.168.0.1

Point OK

Select DNS and fill in the main DNS:192.168.0.1.

Select a host, and you can see your host name and IP. The following needs to be changed.

rescue

3. Edit the host address

Create a new terminal and write vi /etc/hosts to open the hosts file.

Change the ip in front of the host to the ip set in the address. (usually in the first line)

4. Restart the network service

Service network restart

5. You should be able to surf the Internet.

Step 6 configure samba

Vi /etc/samba/smb.conf Open the configuration file.

Find hosts allow or add hostsallow =192.168.0 to the file (don't forget the last point).

Add a * * * shared folder at the end of the file. Here is an example. (There are instructions on how to add a * * * shared folder in the file. )

[root]

For windows, comment = all.

path = /root

Tourist ok = yes

Access your * * * Shared Folder.

9. Finally, you can log in to linux with remote tools such as putty.exe, and the IP under windows is:192.168.0.21.

In this way, you can use the command line under windows to work under linux without switching to vmware.

10, if the above settings are good, if not, use the following command under linux.

Ifconfig, check whether eth0 is set with IP:192.168.0.21.

otherwise

ifconfig eth 0 192. 168.0 . 2 1

Service smb restart

Service network restart
