I'd like to connect to the net with the OS inside VPC from machine X with VPC guest Y through another machine Z that acts as dialer to the internet through a modem. I use SFPPP and it works great for Surfing, mailing etc. from host (machine X).

The problem is that:

a) The guest OS Y can see the dialup machine Z but not access it, the host can both see and access Z.
b) I can access host X from guest OS Y through "network".
c) I can see the VPC guest Y on machine X but not on Z.
d) I've configured all three with different ip-adresses, ip-forwarding etc.
e) I've got no internet access from within VPC guest Y.

I'd appreciate if I could get a "how-to-do-it" sample to solve the problem.

Hello,
I've had the same problem with with virtual switch. Could not connect to the inet.In my case it was the nic-driver RLT8319. After updating the driver to the latest one from www.ecomstation.com all my problems (with VPC) where gone and I can use the inet with VPC's NAT or with virtual switch. Maybe in your case it's also only nic problem.

Greetings Klaus.

Thank you.

I've checked the driver for my D-Link DFE 530TX Rev. A1 and there are no newer drivers for it than 2.61.

Anything else I can do to get it up and running?
