I prefer the first one, since you only get the files you need to your Cabal Server.

That's a bad start. Try to teach yourself some basics about networking (at least interview google).

Please provide some basic informations about your setup:

1. What virtualization solution do you use? (e.g. VMWare Server)
2. What kind of virtual NIC did you add to your VM? (e.g. NAT, Bridged, ...);
3. What kind of network do you have? (e.g. "My PC is directly connected to the internet" / "I have a router between my PC and the internet");
4. Are you sure that you configured all firewalls properly?

Oh and please provide the output of the following commands:
From your host: ipconfig /all
and from your vm: ifconfig

Your VM has a wrong IP address. It should be in the 192.168.226.0/24 range, as stated in the configuration of your VMnet8 NIC. Basically, that means that your VM can't "talk" to your PC or the internet.

Try to execute those commands in your VM:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.226.100 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.226.2 eth0
echo nameserver 68.87.85.102 >> /etc/resolv.conf

Then try to ping google.com. If that fails, try to ping 192.0.32.10 (example.org). If that fails, try to ping 192.168.226.2 and 192.168.226.1

If that fails, provide the output of both the pings and the commands stated above.

3.my pc is conected directly to the internet. i have a modem cause ipconfig and whatsmyip.com match
4.firewalls are off

That's a bad combo. Do yourself a favour and bring that firewall up.
Also, it's probably not a good idea to post your public IP with the information that your firewall is disabled on a public forum.
Somebody might be bored enough to run a few scripts.


Btw, you don't intend to use your MySQL installation as the database for the cabal server, do you?
