The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

VMWare -- Linux network configuration of four virtual machines.

Asked by ArmyGroo in Miscellaneous Software, Linux Networking

Tags: , , ,

Setup a network of 4 pc's in VMWare environment.

I have VMWare 6.  4 virtual machines of Linux Fedora core 5.  All virtual machines derived from the same ISO.

I have default install settings with the exception of changing the harddrive to 15G.  By default the network connection uses bridged on Eth0 with DHCP.  This is the only network connection currently setup on each client.

What I would like to do is have the below settings configured.  I would also like at least one of the machines to have access to the internet through my main machine.  I know I need to add one virtual ethernet port but I have spent so many hours trying to get everything to work correctly I figured I would ask an Expert.

I have tried creating a team of machines but I know I am doing something incorrectly because when I try a boot this way none of the ethernet ports start correctly.

Step 5: Network Configuration.
" Configure network. In the Network Configuration dialog box for eth0 and eth1,
unselect "Use bootp/dhcp. For eth0 select Activate on boot, and for eth1 do not
select Activate on boot. Set the hostname to PC1, PC2, PC3, or PC4 , and
the IP addresses and netmasks as given in the following table.1 Leave the entries
for default gateway, primary nameserver, secondary nameserver and ternary
nameserver blank. Press "OK".

Hostname              Interface eth0                                       Interface eth1

PC1                      IP address 10.0.1.11                      IP address 10.0.2.11
                             Netmask 255.255.255.0                 Netmask 255.255.255.0


PC2                    IP address 10.0.1.12                        IP address 10.0.2.12
                          Netmask 255.255.255.0                    Netmask 255.255.255.0


PC3                     IP address 10.0.1.13                       IP address 10.0.2.13
