  1. Hello… I hope you may help me, point me to a link or something. I’m totally new to VMplayer and Linux. I installed Xubuntu Linux thru VMplayer and then installed XAMPP on Xubuntu. I can access XAMPP thru “localhost” in VMplayer but I cannot get it to work outside of VMPlayer and remote users cannot access my HTTP server. Like when I go to my IP I get this:

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Server: NetPort Software 1.1
    Content-type: text/html
    Expires:0

    What am I missing? I am running WINXP on my machine w/ VMplayer running Xubuntu as the host OS with XAMPP running. I want to be able to serve pages/files to the outside world. I’ve looked all over VMplayer’s site, XAMPP’s site, and Ubuntu’s site but no luck solving my issue unless I overlooked it. I’ve even googled and cannot find any help, just came across your site during my search.

  2. Hey Jay,
    VMware uses another IP for the machine as set by your installation. You should know it though. I don’t use ubuntu that much but if you know how to configure your IP address in you ubuntu installation then you’re fine. I haven’t use DEBIAN also which of course where Ubuntu and it’s variant is based.
    I have this in my config as I am not using DHCP in my addressing(this will help a lot) on my virtual machine.
    IP address: 192.168.0.80
    Net Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Gateway: 192.168.0.1 (I am using a shared internet connection) :D
    Primary DNS: 192.168.0.1 (Since the shared connection is a DNS server as well)
    Hope this’ll help.
