Linux VM networking problems

I have a few networking issues with my Linux VMs that I can't seem to resolve. Issue number one is a strange occurrence where my Linux distro (Simply MEPIS) reassigns a random IP address to the virtual network adapter causing the VM to lose all connectivity. I tried manually assigning an IP address but that has no effect. This also happened recently when I cloned a VM and it couldn't connect yet all my previous clones worked. There's at least one SMP WU awaiting an upload and I wish to get this fixed.

The second issue is the perennial problem of monitoring VM clients. My experience has been a crap shoot at best, The only success I ever had monitoring my VMs with FahSpy was using Simply MEPIS, which is the chief reason I am running this slow and bloated distro. Unfortunately, not all of my MEPIS VMs can be monitored for some unknown reason. I only have 50% of these VMs monitored. The need to monitor is paramount with the frequent SMP hangs I experience using the A2 core (several each day).

Any help to get either problem resolved will be greatly appreciated. TIA
 
I done two things to make monitoring the Linux VM's easier from my Windoze boxen.

First, I've turned off the Linux firewall. My Windoze firewall is still running.
Second, My Linux password and my Samba password is the same as my Windoze password.

Its not the safest setup but I work on the theory that anyone who can get past my router firewall and Windoze firewall with take full control of my VM's anyway, so lets make monitoring them easy.

Luck ........... :D
 
Thanks for the reply Tiger. When I'll have the time I'm going to try one or both of your methods and see if it makes a difference. :)

Anyone know where the user ID is located in a Linux install?

In linux, it's in a file called machinedependent.dat
