Accessing internet VMWare

[developer100]

Hi All,


I am very new to linux and VMWare


I have following configuration.


Host OS : Windows XP
Guest OS : Redhat linux 9
VMWare : 5.5.3


I have broadband internet which runs fine on windows xp which is my host os.


I want to share that internet connection in my guest os which is redhat linux 9.


I can not access internet from my guest os.


Please help me.

I tried to investigate.

When I try to activate my network configuration in linux, it says "Can not activate network device eth0:1. Device eth0:1 does not seems to be present,delaying initialization.

red hat linux 9 is an obsolete distro, it probably has a hard time detecting "hardware" provided to it by vmware

device eth0:1

This is an "imaginary" device (linked to eth0) - you need to configure eth0 itself.

This seems to be less to do with VMWare and more about basic Linux configuration.
