My HH4 is running DHCP and all is well....

I have a VMWare Fusion VM that's running CentOS and has a static IP address and is bridging the network to the computer VMWare is running on. I can route to the VM from other computers on the house network - and visa-versa. The computer the VM is running on is using DHCP.

However I can not route out of the house on the the public Internet form the VM.

When I look at the HH4 interface I can see all the devices except for the VM. I am guessing that until I get the VM machine to appear in the list of devices then it's not going to route to the internet. Is that right?

Can anyone help or offer advice?

Thanks

If the virtual machine can see and be seen by other devices on your home network then by definition it has to be seeing the Home Hub. It may not appear as a device in it's own right however if it shares the host computer's physical interface.

It is therefore possible there is a set-up error in the IP address settings. So as a test try putting this

212.58.246.91

into the address bar of a browser in the virtual machine. It's the IP address of the BBC website. If that works but www.bbc.co.uk does not then look at the DNS settings and also double check the Gateway setting. You can check what these should be by typing (I assume Windows here)

ipconfig /all

into a command prompt on the "real" computer the virtual machine is running on. Make sure that they are the same on both "real" and "virtual" and see if that makes a difference.
