Networking :: Issues getting networking working on USB

Hello-

I have to admit I am new to DSL. I used the dsl-3.0.1-embedded image on a USB drive and it boots up great in Windows XP. The issue I am having is I cant get neither a static or dhcp IP to work via the host. I have tried it on several machines. When I select dhcp for example, it defaults to 10.0.2.15. As the image boots from the USB, the nic is recognized ok and requests an IP via dhcp. I see packets sending and receiving to some extent. The host Windows XP doesnt have any networking issues. I tried to connect from the host wired and wireless. Both work for the host, neither work for the DSL image. I bet its something simple that I am missing since I am new to DSL. I appreciate any assistance and am pretty excited about using this DSL.

Thanks!!

The 10.0.2.15 is normal. It is running in a virtual machine and the virtual machine responds with that very IP number.

Now as long a Windows networking is working then the network should pass thru and you should be able to access the net, web browser and email, etc.

Thank you very much for your assistance. I did try that and it works. I guess I was thinking that when validating network connectivity I could use ping and telnet from the DSL OS to destinations. Is there any way to use DSL that way? I was going to use that OS for network security testing type activities.

Thanks!
