Linux VM server and VM network configuration

828733Sep 20 2011 — edited Nov 7 2011

Hi,
I have a Oracle Linux 5 server with Oracle VM Server 2.2.1 software installed. I downloaded OEL5 x86 VM template and set it up using the netmask, DNS and default gateway of the VM server machine. Now I realize I cannot access the internet from inside this Virtual Machine. So I think the DNS and gateway is not correctly setup.

Please note that I can ssh the VM from VM server.

Can you please guide me as to what DNS and gateway I should use for configuring my VMs? Do I need to set up an IP alais with different DNS.

My VM server ip is (some values changed) 99.44.95.115, DNS 213.133.98.98, Def gateway 99.44.95.97 , netmask 255.255.255.224

So for my first VM I am using ip 99.44.95.98, DNS 213.133.98.98, Def gateway 99.44.95.97 , netmask 255.255.255.224

Am I doing anything wrong. I am completely new to Linux and networking. So I am still learning.
Just a general idea would take me a long way.

Regards
CP
