I've used this guide twice and it always works for me. It's great, but needs a few updates. 1) yum -y install devtoolset-4-gcc-c++ This is outdated and won't work. You need to use this first: sudo yum-config-manager --enable centos-sclo-rh-testing If yum-config-manager returns command not found, you need to yum install that first. And then it will work. 2) Enter the name and switch Type to Linux and Version to Red Hat (64-bit) and click in Next. If the dropdown menu does not have 64 bit versions available, it means one of two thing: Your CPU does not support virtualization, or it does support it but the option is disabled. You need to enable it on the BIOS. Processors made by AMD will always have the option(mine was disabled by default) while on Intel chips sometimes do not. 3) It's always a struggle for me to get internet working on the VM the first time you set it up. A little bit of Google-fu goes a long way but I usually end up having to edit some network files to get it to work. Also apparently not every wireless router allows Bridged Adapter mode to function. 4) This guide DOES WORK for Dynamic IP addresses without problems. The issue is that every time your dynamic IP shifts, you'll have to edit your local server files with the new IP. I've hosted servers with dozens of people connected for weeks this way, just hope there isn't a lightning strike near your home that causes the lights to flicker(and the modem to reset).
