Installation issues / Re: Linuxmce_admin access in VMware

Thanks teedge77

I found a way to diable the firewall by going into the Orbitor advanced view then clicking on the KDE desktop button on the right.
Then I was able to launch the admin website locally on the VMWare guest using the Linux MCE Launch Manager. I logged in then disabled the firewall under network settings and statically assigned an IP on the same subnet as my VMWare host to the external interface.
I then had to shutdown LMCE and change my VMWare eth0 interface to use bridged-mode. Once I started up LMCE again then I could login from my host machines browser using the static IP assigned to the external interface.

How does one disable the firewall if the admin website is unreachable? I have searched for info but can only find reference to this via the admin website.

Hmmm, seems several attempts to follow the wiki instructions on this setup are still failing.

I can't find much docco on the firewall but I assume that the external interface will deny all packets by default so as per the wiki instructions I have setup eth2 in host-only mode, disabled the VMWare DHCP sever on VMnet8 and tried to obtain an IP from LMCE DHCP server on this adapter. Still no good.

Also tried setting a static IP in the same subnet as the LMCE internal ethernet adapter on my host's VMnet8 adaptor. Again no luck.

Can anyone give me their working vm and LMCE network configuration?

Installation issues / Linuxmce_admin access in VMware

Hi there,

I have just installed Linuxe MCE using vmware on Win XP. I can't seem to get the VMware network setup
correct so I can access the Linuxmce_admin page.

Can anyone give me some pointers as my VMware skills are very limited.

I have two network adaptors on the virtual machine, Eth1 setup in NAT mode and Eth2 is using host-only.

VMnet8 adaptor is bound to subnet 192.168.138.0/24
VMnet1 is bound to 192.168.6.0/24

From my readings LMCE will not permit access to the admin page from an external subnet.

How can I get this working?

Regards
Mark
