Newbie problem with setup

Andreas,

I followed your instructions.

~$ ifconfig readout for eth0 is lacking the "inet addr:" line. It DOES
show "inet6 addr:" line.
The section for lo (loopback) correctly shows "inet addr: 127.0.0.1..." as
well as "inet6 addr:" line.
So it appears eth0 is configured only for IPv6 and not IPv4? How would I
fix this?

Thank you for your continuing support!

Jeff

No. I can successfully ping "localhost", but nothing else; cannot ping
other equipment inside my network nor internet IPs.

What does "ifconfig" look like?

Maybe this one helps:
Open /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and delete anything
beside the comments. Restart the virtual machine and check "ifconfig"
again.

Regards

Andreas

Did you specify the IP address manually or are you using DHCP? If using
DHCP can you try to setup the IP address manually (Config -> Network)?

Kind regards,

Martijn

IPv6 is autoconfiguration so it works without any connection at all.
For IPv4 you need to reach a DHCP server. You might try with NAT
instead of bridge as Martijn suggested, but i wonder if you can reach
the management console with NAT in place.
