Can you help a rookie with networking on VMWare?

HI - hope someone can help me with this.

I'm currently learning a MCITP module, and to do this, I use VMWare as well as some installations of Server 2008.

The book advises to use the following network settings.

SERVER01

IP: 10.0.0.11

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Default gateway: 10.0.0.1

Preferred DNS server: 10.0.0.11

BRANCHSERVER

IP: 10.0.0.12

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Default gateway: 10.0.0.1

10.0.0.11 preferred DNS server

Now, the problem I have is when I put the settings for this network, the servers are unable to access the internet.  I understand why this happens, because they are on a different subnet completely to my host network.  Whose details are (including virtual networks)

If I use the network bridged in Virtual Machines, then they can access files on my network and the internet is fine, however, I would like to use network settings if possible recommended book.

Is it possible to do by customizing virtual network cards?  What is the correct way to do it?  Is it possible to map my default gateway for hosts (192.168.1.254) will also be solved through 10.0.0.1?

Feel free to talk to me as I am a beginner, happy for pointers.

See you soon

We will give you an example for a virtual configuration MS AD:

Configuration of default MS of laboratory:

SERVER01 (DC, DHCP, DNS)

-IP: 10.0.0.11

-Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

-Default gateway: 10.0.0.1 (should be changed to 10.0.0.2)

-Preferred DNS Server: 10.0.0.11

BRANCHSERVER (Member Server)

-IP: 10.0.0.12

-Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

-Default gateway: 10.0.0.1 (should be changed to 10.0.0.2)

-Server DNS preferred 10.0.0.11

In this case, I would setup the virtual network like this:

-Configure the range of IP NAT to be 10.0.0.0 subnet 255.255.255.0

-Disable the DHCP (as SERVER01 is the DHCP server)

-Once you apply the settings, the IP of the gateway of the NAT settings will change to 10.0.0.2 and the IP address on the host VMnet8 will change to 10.0.0.1

To communicate with the internet, you must:

-Configure the IP of the gateway above as the default gateway for your virtual machines

-Configure DNS forwarding to the above gateway IP address in the SERVER01 DNS configuration
