Hi.
I’m not far off of being a VM newbie so it might be a simple answer…
I’m running Debian as the guest under Windows 7. Purpose of the VM is to host a dev/test environment of a Wordpress based website.
Linux VM works really well (can download Wordpress plugins etc. etc.) however
1) I can’t e-mail from it (I can from the live site)
2) One of the Wordpress plugins (Jetpack) won’t register as it says ‘your website needs to be publicly accessible to use Jetpack: site_inaccessible Error Details: The Jetpack server was unable to communicate with your site [HTTP 404].’
This was with the VM set to the ‘NAT’ network setting. Changing it to ‘bridged’ resulted in no improvement and no browser access to the internet (although I can ping bbc.co.uk & google.com).
VMPlayer is version 6.0.2 build-1744117
Host is: Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit 6.1.7601, Service Pack 1
ip setups from Windows and Linux pasted below.
Any ideas?
Cheers/
Nigel.
