Bridged mode VMWare - no network in "Network Configuration".

Hello

OK so I managed to install VMPlayer V6 and V7 one or two weeks of back - and even creates the VM etc.

Since then, I uninstalled and tried MS Hyper-V. Guess what - I am back to VMWare and disillusioned with Hyper-V.

Well - I wanted the trial of Win10/VS2015 with the Android adapter - who said I need Hyper-V :-((.)

BUT - after re installed VMWare - had said that I couldn't create a VM with Hyper-V installed.

Then uninstalled, re-installed VMWare Player V7 and tried to install a XP SP3 simple VM client since then:-O.

The problem is that when I select Bridged in the network card, the button "Configure adapters" appears an empty list.

Now, I have no idea - despite this forum etc. why or how trawling to reactivate the network interfaces:-O.

PC is a Dell laptop with ethernet (no cable), an adapter wifi, a TAPI interface and a couple of VPN. VMWare is also VMNet1 and VMNet8.

The settings for these two shows "VMWare Bridge Protocol" as not checked, so my best guess is that this must be activated?

BUT if I check it just - it seems to make no difference: o

Can someone tell me a solution please?

Thank you very much - I hope so...

Graham

OK fixed it:-O.

For anyone who needs to know - hope that help is here...

Seems that MS Hyper-V may have installed a "network bridge" - as I had never seen before in my "network settings":-O.

My wifi adapter also showed that it was "bridged".

Do some trawling more - I found an MS article that says that Windows can have a 'bridge' but only ONE software!

So - I suspected that, as it were - VMWare could not create its version: - O - seems plausible to me!

So - in for a penny - in for a book - I deleted and saw that my wifi connection dropped, then magically reconnected again without saying "bridged".

I open VMWare Player and the parameters of the virtual machine with XP in it and like magic - the ' configure adapters now had my adapter Wifi :-)) - shown and checked.

Start the virtual machine and bingo - we have now one IP (DHCP'd my router) - and can browse internet ;-)).

So summary - just uninstall Hyper-V "stuff" hanging out - guess I can understand it-to the left as it would have been 'things' created AFTER the installation of Hyper-V.

probably during the creation of the first VM.

Panic-hope this helps someone else, at any given time.

    Hi parkarnoor,

    See the attachment of the section network example of my post here.  It's an old design copper I did some time, but is still topical.  Personally, I mix ports through the NIC cards to create links and use multi-nic vMotion.  As you do use network storage, you can use multiple NICs for your comments link.

  • VMware View network configuration

    Hello

    What is the best practice for setting of networking for VMware VDI with an EMC SAN deployment? About going to expand to 200-250 machines VDI.

    Should I have 3 VLAN:

    1 - network management

    2 - VMotion

    3 - traffic (VDI) virtual machine

    or can I setup it up like

    1 - management / vMotion

    2 - traffic Virtual Machine

    Thank you!

    If you speak only of VLAN that yes the three should be on the VLANS separated.

  • Networking question in VMware Workstation / nested ESXi network configuration problem

    Hi guys,.

    I am trying to set up a virtual lab, I setup a domain, a vcenter server and up to 1 ESXi host controller.

    I am really struggling with the network aspect in establishing a vmnic for storing shared, please see the attached screenshots and a few questions:

    1. Is a vmnic a real network map? or vmnic correspond to "network adapters" that you put in place since the setting of your virtual machine?

    I followed a tutorial and implement 3 NICs on the ESXi host, in Bridge mode, I tried this in my configuration of vmworkstation and I lose the connection to my server vcenter to the ESXi host.

    See screenshot attached to how I configured my ESXi host, screenshot is called 'screenshot2esxihost network', I run got each of the maps defined on NAT network.

    screenshot2esxihost network.JPG

    See also the screenshot of how I have my configuration of network settings in my VMWare Workstation, screenshot is called "screenshot1. the tutorial does not show how it has its editor of the virtual network configuration, but it puts its ESXi host NICs in BRIDGED mode, and I'm guessing that you can set this time within the virtual network adapter. If someone could tell me what changes should I make in there and on the network cards in my ESXi host, which would be really useful.

    screenshot1.JPG

    My domain controller, server ESXi hosts and vcenter are currently on the 192.168.86 range, which currently stood at NAT

    See also a screenshot from the vsphere client - I don't see a vmnic "vmnic0", my goal is to be able to add a "vmnic2" for a separate storage network.

    screenshot3 unable to add anymore vmnics.JPG

    any help would be received with gratitude, I VCP510 review at the end of the month and really hope to be able to get my lab setup as soon as possible.

    The vmnic is the rising 'physical' of an ESXi host. So with the 3 network cards that you configured for the host in VMware Workstation you will see under "Network adapters" and you can use them to vSwitches in the section "network".

  • How will I know if my airport extreme in bridge mode?

    How will I know if my airport extreme in bridge mode?  My internet provider suggested I check into that and disable the bridge mode for a problem I've had with wireless help all my IP addresses.

    Assuming that you have a current version or recent Mac OS installed on your Mac...

    Open Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility

    Click on the image of the AirPort Extreme

    Click on edit in the window that appears

    Click on the tab at the top of the next page network

    If the router Mode setting = Off (Bridge Mode), then the AirPort Extreme is configured in Bridge mode.

    It's OK for AirPort Extreme setting, unless you want to play with a setting of DHCP and NAT and a network called Double NAT error.  If you do this, AirPort Utility will display a message telling you that the correct setting for the AirPort Extreme is 'off (Bridge Mode).

  • Bridge mode... Router and TC

    My internet does not work if I have my xfinity on bridge mode router and my TC on mode bridge?

    Bridge on the modem/router and Bridge Mode on the TC will not work.

    Xfinity modem/router must be configured as a modem only simple only (in bridged Mode), and the TC must be configured in router Mode of DHCP and NAT

  • No comments in Bridge mode network

    I'm not able to maintain a network of comments on my AEBS. If I use the bridge mode on my ADSL modem, then the guest network is visible but not able to be reached by any user with or without password. If I try to use the bridge mode on my AEBS then I have a double NAT error

    The only way that the AEBS can provide a wireless network by using the Guest network feature is if the airport is configured to act as a router. This would mean that the router mode on the airport must be set to DHCP and NAT.

    If this setting produces a view of Double NAT, then your "modem" will also provide a DHCP and NAT services... and the modem must be configured in Mode bridge true to allow the AEBS functioning on the network.

    Unfortunately, a number of "modem/router" cannot be set to run in real Mode bridge, your first task must be to find out if it is possible to configure your router/modem to operate only as a simple modem in Bridge Mode... and if he can bet set up this way... 'How' to do it.

    If the modem/router was provided to you by your provider of Internet Service (ISP), you will need to get with the people of support at your ISP for answers.

    Re: Windows Pro/Ent 8.1 Overview invited - stop Windows Net Performance, away from work


    Re: Flow very slow network-> Guest host, but no comments <-home


    So far, none of the solutions worked. I turned off "Large Send Offload" on each adapter that I could find on the host and the guest. Nothing. Restore these settings in any combination with other out does not work either. I edited the .vmx file and replace by vmxnet3 occurrences, and that no longer works. So far nothing I've tried has worked. I disabled all firewall and antivirus. Still nothing. When I run Guest OS Windows Network Diagnostics, I get the "your modem broadband has connectivity problems." However, I know that this is not the case. I also used the "Virtual Network Editor" to force the bridge connection to select the correct network card (in my case, it's the Intel Centrino Wireless - N 1030 wireless card), but still no luck. Any help would be much appreciated.

    So I finally the solution look. BitDefender firewall was blocking all traffic on the connection Bridged in VMware Workstation. I have disabled the firewall completely Bitdefender and Bridged Networking worked perfectly. I'll probably create another topic more precisely around Bitdefender firewall configuration to allow traffic network through Bridged from VMware.

    Network configuration / routing / two network interface cards / NAT - leased / dedicated Dell R210 running VMware ESXi 5.1.0 build-799733

    Hello

    I'm trying to understand how to configure a dedicated server of Dell R210 rented running VMware ESXi 5.1.0 build-799733

    This dedicated server is rented www.online.net and sits somewhere in France. One of its network adapters have an IP public 62.210.177.20x. The other NIC is here, but I do not understand how it is configured. According to the www.online.net portal, the other NETWORK card has or should have an IP 10.90.116.20x. And I am obviously set up is to have some virtual machines running and be able to access the Internet. I have access to the console of the server Dell through iDRAC and since I could see, one of the network adapters in the IP is 62.210.177.20x defined, and the other has been shown out of service. I managed to make it appear the other interface but I cannot find anywhere how to assign the IP address 10.90.116.20x to this 2nd network adapter. But then again I don't even know if I should or if I need to assing a IP address to this 2nd network adapter. What is the cable connected even for this 2nd NIC? I do not know. Should it be - I'm not either. I don't know French and manuals/instructions on www.online.net are in French. I can try an online translator, but I don't think that what I'm looking for is explained. How do I get this set up? I have to do something about the ESXi on the server console? This interface 2nd should be in place, or it must be down as if it was originally? Yesterday after watching someone videos on YouTube, I added the second virtual switch and moved the virtual hosts of this switch 2 and he entrusted the 2nd NIC. But that 2nd NIC had a red X next to it probably indicating that it was disconnected the 2nd form virtual switch. Today and now I have managed to access the ESXi console server through iDRAC, I bring the 2nd NIC, and now both network adapters are assigned to the virtual switch 1st . But I think that a NIC should be attributed to a single switch and the other card NETWORK on the 2nd switch. I'm just a desktop guy with enough knowledge to be dangerous J if you / someone put in steps how and where to set them up it... PLEASE

    Thanks in advance

    Network configuration

    • VMware vSphere Hypervisor is an "operating system" for pure virtualization and support NAT or routing. Therefore, only a real bridge configuration can be used.
    • To use a subnet additional IP must be configured as a router VM.

    If I understand the above, I need to show some VM and set up as a router? If the virtual machine that will act as a router must have two network interfaces, where it is connected to a switch and the other to the other switch network card. Am I do? The YouTube video that suggested, but I thought that maybe / somehow ESXi can route packets between the two network cards, but from what I read, ESXi can route packets. Do I need to order an additional / extra / 2nd IPv4 address so that it can be assigned to the interface of the router?

  • Bridge mode breaks down wireless network

    I have a Time Capsule of 4th generation, I am creating an additional wifi network at the back of my house to cover a dead zone.  I'm not trying to extend an existing wifi, I seek to create a new wifi network but have it on the same network range as my network existing.

    My ISP is a router that I have in my basement that has wireless on it. .  It powers up to one router links AC that all my devices connect to.  Then, this device provides wired and wireless access to most of the House.  However, I have a task of dead at the back of the House for the wifi.  So I have an Ethernet cable, which goes to the back of the House and who connects in port WAN on the Apple Airport Extreme / Time Capsule (4th gen).   If I set this device to create a new wireless network in bridge mode, it works for about 20 minutes to an hour and then causes a sort of problem on my network and all my other devices go crazy.  If I disable the router from Apple or back to NAT, everything's fine.

    The only reason why I don't want to do this NAT device is because if I put it up to NAT then devices connected to the apple Airport extreme will have more access to the apple TV on the main network.

    So I need no more shots on why the bridge mode does not work on the router from apple or I need to know how to get Apple TV visible on two different IP ranges at the same time.  Unfortunately, the Apple TV can be connected to both wifi and wireless at the same time.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Bridge should work fine... I would suspect that your TC gives signs of decomposition.

    It is now more than 3 years old which is the best before date.

    Try again using static IP method... I think it is more successful than the bridge.

    Should be enough information in this post... but if not just give me all the IP info from the existing modem router to. I can then give you specific info to set the TC.

  • VmWare Workstation 6.5.1 - local network configuration problem

    Hi guys!

    I have a server with 2 lan card hardware. First of all in the DMZ (10.10.10.X) and the second in LAN (192.68.100.X)

    I started 3 virtual machine with Windows 2003 server.

    SERVER (PDC): 1 Lan (in Lan) cards

    SERVER B (SQL): 2 Lan (Lan 1, 1 private SERVER C network) card

    C (WEB) SERVER: 2 lan card (1 in the DMZ, in private network with SERVER B 1)

    I create 1 BRIDGE with VMNet0, 1 lan private VMNet2

    The problem is when I put the lan card 2 in the same group lan becouse ServerB VMNet2 not ping server C (I test the ping with the installation of DHCP and the static IP... but nothing!)

    What I see, your DMZ network is connected to VMnet2:

    Regarding your screenshot of the VMWare Virtual Network editor VMnet2 is connected to the Broadcom and your first post regarding your host has a NETWORK card in the local network (192.168.100.0) and the other in the demilitarized zone (10.10.10.0). --> VMNet2is is connected to your local network or demilitarized zone (that is why I needed the ipconfig host as well, but you don't post it).

    I guess the Broadcom's DMZ for now.

    This means that if VMnet2 is considered to be the DMZ with 192.168.200.0 (look at Server C) which do not function as it relates to the Broadcom with 10.10.10.0.

    Server c:

    He must have a card in the demilitarized zone (on the name) who has an IP address of 192.168.200.2. It does not not 10.10.10.x? If this is the adapter that uses VMnet2 which does not work.

    ServerB:

    Server B seems to have the correct IP addresses, but it has no way to reach C because it has no address of 192.168.200.x.

    If you really want to have a private connection (no DMZ) between B and C, private by VMnet1 card and use the IPS that VMware provides for this network.

    I guess you want like this:

    LAN (192.168.100.0) - B - VMnet1 (private/host-only/192.168.200.0)---C---DMZ (via VMnet2 jumpered to Broadcom 10.10.10.0)

  • VMware in network bridge: Freezed host with WS6.5 and Windows Vista x 64 or Windows 7 x 64 host operating system

    Hello

    I have a problem with VMware Workstation 6.5 on 64-bit Windows host.

    First, I installed VMware Workstation 6.5.0 118166 on my x 64 Windows Vista SP1 host, and I had a weird problem when working with network on my host system, no matter there is a guest running or not. The problem is when I try to connect/disconnect from VPN connections or plug/unplug my network from my LAN socket cable, etc., host OS freezes suddenly with no answer to anything whatsoever, no movement of the mouse, without strikes, nothing.

    After sometimes, I installed Windows 7 Beta 7000 x 64 on my computer and have no problem with it until I installed VMware Workstation 6.5.0 118166 on it: the gel problem once again. I thought it may be a problem on this specific build of VMware, so I downloaded and installed the latest version (6.5.1 126130) on my system, but the problem persists.

    After playing with a large number of settings, I find that if I delete the service "VMware Bridge Protocol" of my network card, the problem does not happen.

    I searched the forum but I can't find anything like that, so I wonder if anyone can help me with that?

    My network card is an edge ' Realtek RTL8168B/8111 Family PCI - E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) b ' on my card mother Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3.

    Other features of the system:

    Which driver version you have installed for your network (NIC) card?   This link shows a version of driver Vista/Win2008 6.216 (dated 2009/02/26) available.  The same driver should work as well for Win7.

    If the above does not resolve the problem, view the properties for the NETWORK adapter and temporarily disable all 'Task Offload"or other characteristics"discharge"to see if that helps.

  • Question simple re: network configuration

    I'm trying the VMWare Player Beta 3 from the image converted to MS Virtual PC from VMWare by VMWare converter.

    Works very well so far, but I can not configure the network.  My host is a XP/sp3 running and the virtual XP machine.  I'm temporarily without a router, so my ethernet card is directly connected to my DSL modem.  I put it to bridged vmnetcfg.exe and used (which must manually extracted installation files) to check that it automatically connected to the correct LAN card.

    Yet, nothing works.  ipconfig in virtualization shows nothing connected, nothing can be crazy, etc.

    What Miss me?  The help files are not clear on how I need Windows upward in the host and the VM.  Things will be clearer when I'm settled and I have a good router, but until then, any suggestions?  There is advantage to try NAT?

    Yes, NAT would be a better choice for the moment.  Most cable ISPS provide only a public IP address with your account and your host (most likely) he uses.  Your guest has a different MAC address and is considered to be another computer.  When you select bridged mode, the prompt is considered by the external network as a separate computer... and so your ISP does not and will not give him an IP address.

  • Question about the nonstandard network configuration

    I'm trying to debug the problem following the configuration of the virtual switch.

    On a vswitch on a host ESX 3.5 with two physical network cards (vmnic0 and vmnic2), there are two groups of ports both with no vlan (i.e., the VLANs set to 0 in the configuration of portgroup).

    Two of these groups of ports use two physical NICs in active-active mode.

    The only difference is that on one of them, call it portgroup pg1, load balancing algorithm is mac hash and "Promiscuous" mode is turned on, and

    Another is to use charge balncing alg based on the port with promisicuous off mode id; Call this portgroup pg2

    A dozen of VMs attached to pg2 are all able to get a DHCP lease; However, if I set one of these virtual machines to fix instead of pg1, it is impossible to obtain a dhcp lease

    It is guess I have this problem can be the physical switch is misconfigured in that the switch ports that attach to vmnic0 and vmic2 are incompatible configured. Howerver, the fact that all 10 VMS access and statistically some would use the vmnic0 and other vmnic2 fit not quite this.

    I realize, there is incompatibility between the hash of the IP and the other nic teaming algorithms, but do not see how change of identification of the port to mac hash would whatever it is outside of the algorithm of the virtual machine uses in chossing between vmic0 and vmic2

    Since it will be difficult to get access to the network switches that I would have pragamtically some alternatives ready before speaking to the team concerned. All of the suggestions.

    Thank you

    Rich

    Hello

    Promicuous mode should have no impact on this. If so, I would be very very surprised. In fact in a vSwitch is the vNIC not the bear who switches to "Promiscuous" mode, so there should be no impact on the bear. The bear is actually in bridged mode.

    Also, remember to score the answers as correct or helpful using the boxes on the left side of the wire screen. It is a good way to show appreciation to other posters.

  • Tips to add a VPN router to my current network configuration

    Dear all

    My apologies if the answer to this question already exists, however, I searched in many situations and none seem to match what I'm after.

    I currently have an ISP modem/router in Bridge mode connected to a TC of Apple which is my wireless router, I have 2 Express airport connected to this acting as the extensors of the range.  I have a VPN service through the MyPrivate network I activate on the desired device when required and everything works fine.

    What I want to do now is to be able to use my AppleTV and burning Amazon via the VPN as well so you need to add a VPN router in the configuration.  I want to finish with 2 wireless networks running together for these devices who need VPN and those who are not.  I don't want to lose the opportunity to extend the network to express it however airport.

    If someone could explain to me if this is possible and if so how do I set up the network.

    Thanks in advance

    Mark

    Basically you would need a device that supports VPN-passthrough and VLANS for your goals of networking. MyPrivate network, seems to be a VPN SSL, which is a user-server configuration. In other words, you install a client VPN on your Mac and you connect to the VPN network MyPrivate server to establish a VPN tunnel.

    Networking two or more "separated", should be using a router that supports VLAN services. Each segment of VIRTUAL local area network, in essence, would be a separate, she either wired or wireless network or a combination of both. This would probably be the 'easiest' part for the installation program.

    Now how combining the two would be the question, and I don't know what would be the best way, or even if it is possible.

    A few thoughts:

    • Use a router that supports VLANS. Create at least two VIRTUAL LAN segments. One for Apple TV & Burns, one for Internet access in general. Connect the device to VPN client host on the first segment, and configure for Internet sharing.
    • Download a dedicated VPN network application that supports hosting of third-party VPN clients, like yours. You would still need a router that supports VLAN to provided separate network segments.
    • Hire a consultant network. Let them know what you the goals of networking and ask them to offer potential solutions.
