OK here's a Linux Q. I have a Mint install in a VM (using VirtualBox) on my Mac. The basic setup works OK and I can reach the Internet with, say, Firefox, from Linux. IOW I get to websites. But the bastard has awarded itself IP address 10.0.2.15, even though it's configured to use DHCP and get an address from my router, which would be giving it an address such as 192.168.1.12, just as it has for my Win7 VM.
The issue here is I have a setup that requires communicating from my Mac to the Linux VM via the LAN. I can do that fine for the Win7 VM. I was able to have the Win7 VM to use DHCP and so it has a local address in 192.168.1/8 but Linux ignores all my attempts to reconfigure, even if I have manual seetings rather than via DHCP.
Suggestions welcome.
