A breakthrough in using Linux

A breakthrough in using Linux-general Linux technology-Linux technology and application information. The following is a detailed description. Shenyang Netcom uses a webpage-based logon Method for broadband access. Specifically, you need to open a browser to the specified website, enter the user name and password, and call a DNSReporter program to log on, the browser must be IE, And the DNSReporter program must run in Windows. This makes it inconvenient for users using Linux and other systems. For example, if my computer is installed with Ubuntu 7.10 and you only need to open FireFox, the message "your browser is not MircoSoft IE and may not be able to access the Internet" appears.

I used to use Wine to run IE in Ubuntu, so I found a free software named ie4linux. However, during the installation process, the software needs to download the signature certificate from Microsoft's official website, which leads to the problem of having a chicken or an egg.

Later I found that even if I can run IE in Ubuntu, I may not be able to run DNSReporter. In this way, it is almost impossible to use broadband. I even thought that it was crazy to decompile the DNSReporter and port it to Liunx.

By chance, I discovered the free Virtual Machine Software VirtualBox, which is a masterpiece! It can Virtualize other platforms on various platforms, and the speed is still very fast. I personally think that as free software, it is much more convenient and concise than paid VmWare Workstation. And it is not inferior in terms of functionality.

Using VirtualBox virtual Windows is technically beautiful. Create a new Windows Xp instance in VirtualBox with a memory of 256 MB and a hard disk of 10 Gb. Load the CD and install it properly. It is surprising that Windows is faster than Windows on the physical machine.

Virtual Windows can share folders with the host system, which is convenient and convenient. So far, I feel that it is no different from the actual Windows, or even better! Because it is virtual, shutdown and restart are too convenient.

To access the Internet in Windows, you need to configure it.

First, the host Ubuntu uses Wired Connection and Enable roaming mode;

The network configuration of the Virtual Machine. Use the default NAT.

Right-click the network Connection of Ubuntu to view the Connection Information.

After entering Windows, set the TCP/IP address of the local connection:

Use the following IP address: same as that in Connection Information.
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: Use the Broadcast Address in Connection Information.

The following is the DNS server address of Shenyang Netcom.

In this way, OK.

After the VM is connected to the Internet, the host can also be connected.
