@scottalanmiller Using VMware/ESXi 6
VMware isn't Linux based (anymore.)
That has nothing to do with the guest OS directly. It is more about which virtual adapter type you pick when setting up the VM.
Also, CentOS7/RedHat have changed the naming scheme on network adapters.
All of my Hyper-V ones are
eth0, while my VMWare 5.5 ones areensXXI have two on XenServer one is eth0 and one is ensXX. Not sure what that would be.
-
Is there any reason that my VM is not providing an ip on the 2nd option? I see in your screenshot the lo and eth0 but when my VM is showing the info after inputting ip addr I get only the lo information. There is no ip address showing up for me to work with.
-
Do you have a network adapter? Is it enabled?
-
It would appear so. Sorry but I'm a little new to this stuff. I see the connect network adapter choice in the network menu and it is selected. That being said any of the options (NAT, Bridged Adapter, etc.) I choose don't seem to connect.
-
@rfindley Is this CentOS? I think you forget to enabled the adapter. It's a common mistake
-
Yes it is. I certainly may have missed that
-
-
Did that get you up and running?

Boy once I reconfigured the right click in PUTTY it was so much easier to use.

if you use it all of the time, I think that the default behaviour is really nice. It is So fast.

But I am constantly copying stuff, and the default is to copy and paste and hit return.

The default of what is to copy, paste and hit return?

PUTTY.
Be default when you right click something to copy, it copies it and pastes it and then hits return.
I guess perhaps just highlighting it copies it? I like the Windows method.

When using Linux/UNIX, if what you have copied includes a carriage return, it will paste in the carriage return. Can be annoying to get exactly what you want to copy at times, which is why you should learn to hold shift and arrow keys to get just what you want.
I got so used to the middle mouse button copying what was highlighted, I was kinda lost for the years between using IRIX everyday and the clickable scroll wheel appearing.

No it does not. I thought maybe you were thinking this but did not want to imply it. That's a misunderstanding of what is happening. It only does that IF your Windows environment and your actions are copying a carriage return into the clipboard (which Windows does by default.) This has nothing to do with PuTTY and is all about your Windows desktop AND it only does this if YOU make it happen, it does not do that for the rest of us. We don't copy the carriage return into the clipboard unless we want it. Windows makes this easy to control as a feature, but it is an invisible feature of the Windows environment so if you are not a Windows power user, you might not be aware that there is an interface to it that you are misusing.
PuTTY simply does what Windows tells it to do, PuTTY has no default behaviour like you are imagining.
