You need to create new virtual network interface (open the dialog with the VirtualBox settings by clicking on File > Preferences > Network) followed by the assigning IP to this interface (obviously your network route should be correct to reach the ping to this IP and ping response back from this machine to external world).

Since I don't have access to your machine so only can suggest. comment if need any additional information.

Thanks Sir,
I din't find File > Preferences > Network.
So, i went to this Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Network Connections.
Where i can few interface, out of that one is for VMWARE.
Sir, Am i at the right point?

Not sure mine and urs could be different as I am running very old version. But the process is add the interface, assign the IP to that interface (bring up the interface if down using ifconfig) and add the necessary route i.e. routeadd.

Ok, Sir, I am not able to assign IP to VMWARE network, as it is disabled by admins of our company.
IP is fixed only i.e. 192.168.*.*

I have to check with my IT dept. Thanks Sir

Is it possible to Share 1 core for VM and Base Os?

Lets say, I have a system with only 1 core and with Windows OS. Using VMWare I am installing Linux on that. Can I share this core for VM and Base OS?

I mean if we have number of core 4 then in vmware we can assign 2 core. So, 2 Core for Linux and 2 core for windows. But what if I have number of core only 1, or if i have number of core 4 and in vmware I assign 4 core to Linux.

Will it share the core time wise?

How does Virtual Machine Works?

Please understand the scenario -

I have installed vmWare in my windows PC, and using vmWare i have installed Linux. So basically I have 2 OS running at the same time.

Now below listed are my Queries,

1) I have inserted pen drive/Flash drive which i am not able to see in linux but in windows i am able to see it. Why?

2) Who manages the CPU?
Windows or Linux?
If windows manages CPU for its own process and Linux manages CPU for its own process, then what if number of process running in linux increases?

3) What about RAM?
Lets say perticular address of RAM is being used by Windows then how Linux will get to know that this address is not free?

4) How hardware is managed?
Lets say linux wants to do some I/O operation, so,, I/O operation is done by linux only or it takes windows in between?
If No then how Synchronization happen for that device?
If Yes then how Linux will talk with Windows?

Thanks in advance.

VMware restricting to 3GB RAM

I am running VMware player on CentOS 5.4 and its working fine. However it does not allow me to increase the RAM more than 3GB. It keeps throwing error stating- "Requested memory size is greater than allowed maximum of 3072 MB. Could not initiate memory hot plug."

I understand from few threads that 32bit OS has this kind of limitation but I am able to understand why I am seeing this issue when I am using 64bit OS and VMware player is also for 64bit.
