The ip address you use to access the Teradata Database on a VMPlayer Guest LINUX OS (Host was Win 7 in my case) can be obtained through executing the ifconfig command from the LINUX (guest OS where TD DBS runs from) command line (I used Gnome Terminal). The output will look similar to below:
TDExpress14.0_Sles10:/ # ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:29:BE:A3:59 inet addr:192.168.88.128 Bcast:192.168.88.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:febe:a359/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:644 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:325 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:70783 (69.1 Kb) TX bytes:32423 (31.6 Kb) ........
The line of interest from above starts with " inet addr: inet addr:192.168.88.128"
Enter whatever the ip address that is in the same place as "192.168.88.128" above appears (source value). That value is to be pasted in the ODBC Administrator Name(s) or IP address(es) Box (target location).
