Asstistance guest only network

Hello all,.

I'm new to using VMware.  I have searched for help with my problem but have not found exactly what I'm looking for.

Background:

VMware Player 4.0.2 build-591240

Host machine: Windows 2003 Server on laptop

NIC #1 not connected to network

VMnet1 IP: 192.168.0.1

NONE

192.168.0.254

192.168.0.1

Guest OS: Windows 7 Pro

NIC #1 Active

IP: 192.168.0.129

DG: NO

DHCP: 192.168.0.254

DNS: 192.168.0.1

  • I put the virtual machine to use in network.
  • I extracted the vmnetcfg.exe and checked all settings appear as expected.
  • Guest OS, I can ping to the host by the name of host and intellectual property.
  • I can't ping between host and guest.

My ultimate goal is to be able to have a network tight that I can run Nessus, WebInspect, and Nmap scans against any test purposes.  The procedure to set up the guest only network seems simple, but I can't understand why I can't ping between host and the VM.  I'm sorry if I'm duplicating a post, but I was not able to find a solution.

Thanks in advance for your help.

  • no connectivity between the virtual machines on the guest only network

    I have trouble getting the network connectivity between two Windows 7 computers using a guest only network virtual in VMware Player.  Each virtual machine is able to get a (unique) IP address via dhcp and can ping itself and the bridge, but could not reach the other system.  I looked on my host computer adapter VMnet1 in Wireshark and saw incoming icmp packets in, but nothing is returned new.  My vmnetdhcp.conf file is unchanged with the exception to add a line to set the default gateway on my guests.  It was an attempt to solve this problem, and the same behavior was observed before changing anything.  Here are the details for this network segment:

    subnet 192.168.184.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {}
    range 192.168.184.128 192.168.184.254;            # by default allows up to 125 VM
    option broadcast-address 192.168.184.255;
    option domain-name-servers 192.168.184.1.
    option domain-name "localdomain".
    routers option 192.168.184.1;  # This is the line, I added
    by default-lease-time 1800;
    Max-lease-time 7200;
    }
    host VMnet1 {}
    Hardware ethernet 00:50:56:C0:00:01;
    fixed-address 192.168.184.1;
    option domain-name-servers 0.0.0.0.
    option domain-name ";
    }

    Is there a problem with my configuration somewhere, or is it just a limitation of VMware Player?

    I installed VMWare tools on the guest-os (Win2003R2). I started Win2008R2 nine as host and shared folder did not work. I thought that maybe it works with OS experienced as Win2K3 and built a brand new Windows 2003 host and once again no shared folder. Later, I found above document, saying: it is not supported at all then, is there any altarnatives.

    Only way I see is, add a dummy WinXP guest with "bridged" n/w, to play the role of trading place for exchanging files b/w other guests and the host. In my case, it is very important to keep the others invited Win2003 unware of outside n/w.  This strategy XP, just to share the log file is an exaggeration.  I guess people must have solved this problem in a more elegant way, if so please let me know, if there are better ways.

    Host is able to ping Guest, but not the otherway, and I think, it's because unless configuration host only the client ethernet adapter is not connected to the physical ethernet adapter of the host.

    Should not be.  Windows is concerned, host-only network is just like a physical NIC connected to a physical LAN.  It's just that in this case, the cards are virtual and the LAN is separate from any other LAN.  In short, your physical host as "two network cards", the physical on and the only host.  The host only one is connected to a virtual switch.  The only other thing connected to this virtual switch is NIC of the virtual machine

    Host is able to ping Guest, but not the otherway, and I think, it's because unless configuration host only the client ethernet adapter is not connected to the physical ethernet adapter of the host.

    As noted above, do not need to connect to the physical NETWORK card because the parameter invited only creates a LAN completely separated between the physical host and the virtual machine.

    If there is procedure to this share windows works, please give me more details. A shared windows is all I need (without resorting to the NAT) to Exchange data between G & H.

    At this point, traditional troubleshooting techniques can be used.  If the comments can not PING host, host has disabled firewall?  But if your goal is to share a file from the guest virtual machine, then PING the host comments is not essential.  Simply the host can display the actions on the guest.  (In fact, PING is not essential whatever it is, as long as you see the shares.)  And you look at one/PINGing by name or IP address?  If you do not need, just use the IP address to remove any DNS resolution problems.

  • Comments can not ping host in a guest only network

    Hello

    I have a Win XP SP2 guest OS running in VmWare Workstation 7.1.0 build 261024 on a Win XP SP3 host OS.

    The virtual machine network is configured in the Config setting.

    Problem: Can't ping guest operating system host OS, but the other way works, I ping guest operating system of the host.

    Here are the details of config:

    When I ping 192.168.1.100 (Host IP) or 192.168.1.1 (Default Gateway) of the customer (192.168.117.128), I get a message from Destination unreachable in both cases. Please advise on this issue.

    Kind regards

    Welcome to the community,

    Since it is a host-only network, you can test only the vmnet on the host (192.168.117.1) adapter.

    If you want to be able to access the other IP addresses, you must configure the NAT is connected by a bridge.

  • Guest only network configuration help

    Hi all

    I installed VMware Workstation 9 on my Windows 7 and has also installed a virtual machine running Windows XP (SP3). It is everything works fine, except for the network on the virtual machine. If I set the network adapter on the virtual machine for 'NAT', the connection works fine. However, I want to use a network 'host-only' for several reasons, and this type of connection does not seem to work.

    A few details:

    -It seems that Windows XP is connected (the usual internet icon on the lower left is connected).

    -ping does not work any site, but ping to "Card Ethernet VMware Network Adapter VMnet1" (I see when I do ipconfig on my host pc) works, so it is connected to something virtual...

    -Ping but to the "wireless network connection Wireless LAN adapter", which I think is my network really does not work.

    On my host PC, I see in the "network and sharing Center" that there is a separate 'VMware Network adapter VMnet1', it is identified as a public network (unidentified network) and it says "no internet access.

    I'm guessing that there is something as simple as allowing the adapter on my host PC to connect to the internet, but I don't see how it's done...

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thank you

    Jonathan

    A 'Host-Only' network is as indicated in internal network on the host, it is not any access to the external network unless you add a router double nic.

    What may be sought, it is called a "bridged network.

  • Fusion on Mac Pro - dedicate a guest only NETWORK card (and have the OS ignore)

    As the subject says. Such a thing is possible?

    I don't know if I'm looking in all the wrong places, or just to ask the question properly.

    Here's what I was wondering:

    I have a Mac Pro with two network adapters. I want to use one for the host (OS X) and the other only for the guest OS. And using it for the guest OS, I want OS x to ignore it completely.

    If possible, how to apply such a facility?

    1 OS X > system preferences > network > Hardware icon > set order of Service

    • In the Service order worksheet, have the NIC priority placing the card NETWORK to use for the host at the top of the list, followed by the NETWORK card dedicated to the virtual machine, and then click OK.

    2 OS X > System Preferences > network

    • Select the card NETWORK dedicated to the virtual machine, and then to configure IPv4: stop selection, then click on apply.
    • Then to configure IPv4: check the DHCP with manual address.
    • Then for IP address: use a reserved address of 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255 IANA Internet Assigned Numbers Authority () and then click on apply.  It's the range of addresses for the automatic private IP addressing, which normally would be affected if the NETWORK adapter does not have a connection but not to worry, it will be... only for the bridge of VMware which will be defined in the next step.

    3 target Virtual Machine settings > network adapter > Bridged Networking, select the NETWORK adapter chosen for the use of the dedicated virtual computer.

    • Now the Virtual Machine will acquire its network router for the LAN Host Configuration information, or you can assign an address appropriate static IP, mask, subnet, gateway and DNS server IP addresses in the configuration of NIC in the guest OS if you wish.

    Note: If this doesn't work for you, even if as described, it works for me, you may need to manually select to configure IPv4: and use a reserved in the meantime address previously mentioned with a 255.255.0.0 subnet mask while providing the appropriate Host router LAN Gateway and IP addresses of the DNS servers.

    Another problem can occur if using a WiFi NIC dedicated to the virtual machine, some WiFi routers will not fill several IP addresses to the same MAC address.   If this is the case for you, then you will have to use wired Ethernet for NETWORK adapter dedicated to the virtual machine!

  • NAT and host only networking

    Hi all

    I have a configuration is to behave in what I believe is a strange way and I hope that someone can confirm this behavior is correct or I have something misconfigured.

    I am simulating 2 sites connected by a WAN to test the configuration of the software.  To do this, I set up 2 Win Server 2003 virtual computers as of the routers, with the result 3 networks.  Common to these two virtual machines (WAN) network is configured on the NAT VMnet.  The other 2 networks/VMnets (LAN) are Hostonly.

    After you add the network adapters and IP configuration, I did a quick ping test to a virtual computer to another and the results are confusing me.  Routing had not been configured on each virtual machine, but I couldn't ping from one virtual computer through the other opposite 'LAN' IP.  Monitoring LAN port while rattling revealed that the source for the ping IP address belonged to the host for the VMnet LAN adapter.  Think that the strange behavior, I've reconfigured the Wan to be Hostonly, and I couldn't ping from one VM through the other until the network has been configured on the virtual machines.

    To playback of VMWare Server user guide, it seems to me that NAT must not automatically route traffic between VMnets.

    So the question is, is VMWare behave properly and I interpret how the virtual network must function properly?  Or is VMWare strange behaviour and I just have to be aware of this?

    Thanks for the help.

    Bingo.

    The host knows the routes to all your virtual networks, because he is a member of all networks. Remove the virtual network for both adapter LAN you created, then they change 'host-only"to"guests only ".

  • The host only network

    Hello

    I have 3 networks 'hosting only' configured as follows:

    VMnet1 192.168.102.0 255.255.255.0

    VMnet7 192.168.107.0 255.255.255.0

    VMnet9 192.168.109.0 255.255.255.0

    My problem is machines on these networks cannot communicate with each other. After looking through the FAQ, I have all "hosted only" networks were able to communicate with each other. Is there a configuration more what can I do to make this work?

    Sorry for asking such a stupid question, I'm pretty new to VM.

    Kind regards

    Thomas

    These three networks is isolated from each other. You can place all the VMs that need to communicate in one of the networks of the host only. If you need to communicate through two networks, you can use two network adapters, which are connected to each specific network or use on virtual machine as a gateway to the other.

  • Can not get the comments DHCP server to allocate addresses on VMNet1 Host-only network

    Hi all

    Hoping someone can help with this question, here's my virtual machine configuration basis up to now:

    -Windows 2012 ADDS, DHCP, DNS server

    -Windows XP client

    The two guests use the network to host only VMNet1 and DHCP is disabled through work stations.

    The problem I have is that my Windows XP computer cannot get a 2012 server DHCP address and she comes back with the link-local address of 169.x.  If I configure my Windows XP machine with a static address on the same subnet as the two computers are able to communicate without problem, so I'm not sure where I'm wrong.  Wireshark shows the broadcast DHCPDiscover packet, but nothing is returned.

    These adapters have certain limits they can treat broadcast packets?  Or am I really missing something here?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Did you check the configuration of your Windows Server 2012 DHCP server? The scope is active? The server is OK?

  • How to change IP host on Linux/RHEL for virutal host only network?

    I have a Windows XP guest running on RHEL 6.2 host.  I'm using VMware Workstation 8.0.3.  I have a network card only virtual host without DHCP.

    My guest must use 190.168.128.1 through 190.168.128.9 ip addresses.  However, this suspended with the 190.168.128.1 automatically assigned host address.  I can't find a way to change the address of the host.  I would like to 190.168.128.10.

    Strangely, my virtual network cards do not appear when I click on the network icon in the taskbar.

    Previously, I had this setup configuration up on top of a host Windows 7 and I could easily change this setting if the properties of the virtual network adapter.  In Windows, when a new virtual adapter is added, it appears in the list of available adpater.

    Thank you

    Marty

    but in my file/etc/vmware, I have only one file for vmnet8 and not 1 and 2.  They are present, if I run ifconfig.  Also, if it's important, I do not use DHCP on each host only virtual network.

    You will need to add the following in the file networking/etc/vmware/networking as root and then reboot the host.

    With the machine virtual shutdown, not suspended and VMware Workstation closed...

    In a Terminal:

    su -
    nano /etc/vmware/networking
    

    Add the following under code: answer Yes to VNET_1_VIRTUAL_ADAPTER

    answer VNET_1_VIRTUAL_ADAPTER_ADDR 190.168.128.10
    

    CTRL + O to save Ctrl + X to exit

    Restart the system (shutdown - r now) If you want to do it from the Terminal.

    There actually is a way to stop the VMware Network Services to then modify the file, and then restart services and without having to restart however I do not have orders in hand for a restart of the host must take care of it.
