Amahi Forums

Excuse my ignorance, i just came across Amahi yesterday, and before i go through the trouble of setting up a vm and installing it to test, i want to make sure that the Amahi server itself can connect to my network wirelessly. Of course when i actually set up the real server itd be wired...but for the sake of testing it i would be doing so from a computer connected wirelessly...can it connect in this fashion, or can i trick Amahi and the VM into thinking its wired?

Ill be using Virutal Box as my VM, just fyi.

as long as you define the NIC in virtualbox to be a ethernet card it will install as an ethernet card. Virtualbox will bridge (if you choose NAT) your wifi connection to the "LAN" within virtualbox.

Ok ill have to give it a try, ive never used Virtual Box so i might need some step by step guidence on how to do this, does the wiki/forums or some other place have info on setting this up?

meh... it's the same as vmware.
shouldn't be too hard, they both are quite straightforward to use for normal testing.

in "production" i would not recommend having hte amahi server connected in a wireless connection, unless that connection is known to be fairly solid. not only file transfer performance will suffer, also, if the connection in flakey, you may lose DNS/DHCP in the clients, having a bad experience overall. not what we want.
