I've created a Debian VM in Vmware workstation 6.5 - Called, "Debian"

I'm planning to install Subversion, trac etc... on here.

How can I set up the VM to be accessed from my Windows 7 host machine? For example, if I'm running the VM - how can i use my browser on the host machine to navigate to http://debian to access the VM...?

I'm sure I've not set up networking properly...

  • How is the vmware networking configured for the debian client? Bridged? NAT? Can the two machines ping each other by address? These would be helpful things to know.

The easiest way would probably be to set up your hosts file (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) to point to the VM's internal IP address.

example:

192.168.1.100      debian

you can find your vm's IP address using ifconfig on debian, or looking at the VMWare adapters in Windows 7's ipconfig output.

  • I think you meant the other way around - unless he's running xrdp on the linux guest :)
