Congratulations! You successfully installed Red PNDA.
By default, the virtual machine network adapter is configured for 'host-only' operation. By using this type of adapter, you’ll be able to access a private, virtual network consisting solely of your host and any guest virtual machines. Any of the virtual machines can access each other, but you can't access outside traffic i.e. reach the Internet.
If you need Internet access, consider changing the network adapter's configuration from 'Private to my Mac' to 'Share with my Mac' (although, this is Mac-specific, similar steps apply for Vmware Workstation for Windows/Linux).
Be sure to reboot your VM if you change the network settings and run the assign-ip.sh
script as shown in Step 9 above.
