Amahi Forums

Hi,

I'm trying to test Amahi out using VirtualBox 3.04 on a P4 3.0GHz Machine w/ 1GB RAM. The virtual machine is set to use at least 512MB of RAM. I'm using a fresh install of Fedora 10 on the virtual machine with a 50GB virtual drive.

So my problem after installing is that I cannot access the internet from my hda. I only have 1 ethernet port so that is not the problem. I followed these troubleshooting steps:

1. ping hda (this ensures the DNS server is working)
This works fine.

2. ping router (this ensures your HDA can see the router)
This does NOT work. I get the following message:
PING router.ET.net (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
From h013.ET.net (192.168.1.13) icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
From h013.ET.net (192.168.1.13) icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
... and so on


Here is my setup info from the Amahi.org Control Panel:
Home Domain: ET.net
Network: 192.168.1.*
HDA IP Address: 192.168.1.13
Network Gateway: 192.168.1.1

My router is definitely located at: 192.168.1.1. I have accessed it there many, many, many times. I am using DD-WRT on it so I wonder if there is some setting I previously tweaked that I now need to untweak?

I am using VirtualBox because I don't want to go through reinstalling my system to find out that Amahi doesn't really do what I want. I think it DOES do what I want but I don't have time to backup my server, do a new installation, and then restore my media files, for every possible server out there. VirtualBox is the sandbox in which I can play without all that hassle. Once I decide that I like Amahi then I will install it without VirtualBox.

Any thoughts??? Thanks in advance for whatever help comes my way.

i think we worked on this in the IRC. are you up and running?

installing on a VM is common way to test things out first.
