  • Thanks so much for taking the time to answer! I still need a little help though. I am using a vm for this and have assigned an ipv4 address, subnet mask, and default gateway for my network. I have tried assigning the address using the snippet you sent and there was no error, but it did not fix the problem either. I'm happy to know the root of my problem now though!

  • Which VM do you use, e.g. VWware, VirtualBox, QEMU? In general you do have a few options on how to connect your VM to your host and the network in general. The simplest approach is to have your VM guest being added to your host network. E.g. on VMware this is called 'bridged networking'. Following article gives you some insight to the different modes: docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Pro/16.0/… That setting would provide your VM access to the DHCP of your physical LAN which is probably the step you are missing.
