I set up some virtual machine with ubuntu-6.06.1-server guest operating system. Network adapter is set up to bridged network connection. When I type ifconfig to the command line, all I get is parameters for local host. My /etc/network/interfaces file looks like this:
Code:
#This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
#and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces (5).
#The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
So, it looks just I think it should. But still, there is no parameters for eth0 after ifconfig command, and if I try to restart network with /etc/init.d/networking restart I got:
Code:
* Reconfiguring network interfaces...

SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Bind socket to interface: No such device
Failed to bring up eth0.
So, why is my network adapter out of scope? I'm really new to linux, so any opinion and solution will be helpful.
P.S. I hope you understood me as my english is not so good.
