with your vm selected click settings, then click network in the adaptor tab change it from nat to bridged and then it should be assigned a ip by your router. You can check in linux with ifconfig
OK i'll give this a shot when i get home tonight. The quickest way to verify this works is to use ifconfig and then on the windows machine use
ping
Right?
Also as of 9.0 the build process has changed and it requires a few new dependencies.
You can always use the bitcoin official binaries and then once it is installed go from there.
It didn't seem to complain about any dependency issues while i was building. How can I make sure?
