Installation under VmWare

[nain_ja]

I have a little problem, I hope you can help me:

- I have install vmware 6 under windows. From there, I start my physical partition of Kubuntu (I know... it's more logical to do the opposite.... but nobody is perfect!)
- My vmware is in mode bridge, to use my wireless connection under windows.

Here comes my doubt: how can I configure my linux to use internet connection? I have to configure the linux connection like a wireless one or an ethernet one?

The documentation (vmware manual) I read makes me think I have to configure like an ethernet, because Bridge mode acts like a virtual switch that connects diffferent interfaces...

Can anyone helps me?

I'd say so - just imagine your systems as two discrete ("real") machines, and you'll get the idea

Hello,
You can also try NAT and see how it goes.

Re: Installation under VmWare

Thx for your answers... but I have another problem:

When I write the command "ifconfig", I only have the "eth1" interface. But in the "interfaces" file, I have wlan0 too.

Which one do I Have to configure?

"eth1"

Try that one (first).

At the end, I configured my eth1 interface like an ethernet, not a wireless....

Thanks all for your help.
