Cthulhu Fhtagn!

I've been trying to get networking functioning in virtual machines (this time, using Microsoft Virtual PC) on my notebook again.

Gah.

I've decided to just enslave myself to Cthulhu. The end result is the same - your brain and soul get eaten and you become a walking zombie fish-monster - but it's quicker and less painful.

1 Erm, just use the virtual switch, set it to use the ethernet port on the laptop. Then share / bridge your ethernet and wireless connections so the laptop is performing NAT... always worked for me!

Better yet use VMWare Server ... much more sensible.

Oh. Yeah.

I tried the beta and ran into some problems and then forgot about it. Time to grab a copy of the real thing, I guess.

The problem is, sometimes my notebook is on WiFi. Sometimes it's on ethernet. But a lot of the time it's not on any network at all, and while Windows doesn't care, VMware Player and Virtual PC don't like it one bit.

3 Got VMware Server installed now, and they've fixed the problems I had with the beta. I'll see if I can persuade it to do networking properly next.

4 I think you should do all your programming in this language.

5 Bah! They didn't even assign distinct functions to CR and LF!

NUL would be another good one.
