• 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.

• Host only network on ESXi 4.0U1

  I know how to set up a network invited only on VMWare Server 2.0.

  What is ESXi called on Host-Only?

  I would like to have a virtual network within ESX to trace my installers shared for ease of installation and overall ive got only LAN 100 MB at the moment.  Copy of 4 to 5 GB / VM takes a LONG TIME.

  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you.

  Just install a vSwitch without NETWORK cards that are linked.

• The host only network on ESXi 4.1

  My apologies if there is appropriate documentation on this point, but I was not able to find it.

  I would use a few guests with access to the network only "host-only', but have not found how to set up the images for this.

  Any help is appreciated.

  It is actually easy to achieve. Simply create a new vSwitch without attaching of uplinks (vmnic) to him.

• 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

  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.

• 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 ".

• 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?

• ESXi 4.0 & incompatible network adapter

  I'm trying to install ESXi to see if it's something I want to use on your desktop new HP Z800 , which comes with 2 Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet network adapters. Here, I installed the other OS (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008), and two of them see network adapters, so I know that they are in good working condition.

  When I try to install ESXi, he goes through the process of decompression for a long time while it comes with a screen of text style 'BACK' base indicating "no compatible network adapter found. Please see the hardware compatibility Guide (HGC of the product) for the list of supported cards. "and won't let me go any further in the installation process.

  First why should place one network adapter for installation? Second, why is it something special because it seems to me (a type of material being not) that all network cards are basically the same today?

  I crossed and applied all the updates (BIOS, Chipset, etc.) to the material that I can apply and as I said works with at least two operating systems, so I don't know how to go beyond that.

  Clues?

  > First place why should one network adapter for installation?

  ESXi is managed from the remote computer, so ESXi without network card is unnecessary.

  > that all network cards are basically the same days now

  They are not.

  Here the list of certified adapters http://www.vmware.com/go/hcl

• 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:

  Host config:

  IP address: 192.168.1.100

  subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

  default gateway: 192.168.1.1

  Config of comments:

  IP address: 192.168.117.128

  network mask: 255.255.255.0

  default gateway: it is empty

  DHCP server: 192.168.117.254

  Configuration of Vmnet1:

  IP address: 192.168.117.1

  NET Mask: 255.255.255.0

  default gateway: white

  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

  Neon

  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.

• How to change the local IP on the virtual NETWORK adapter for Web server address

  Hi all

  I have a physical Windows system, on which I run VMware Workstation 9. Now on VMware I run Ubuntu 12.10 a LAMP for a Web server.
  Problem:
  Now, my local IP address for my NETWORK card virtual (using the Ubuntu one) at the address 192.168.159.7 and my router only emits the 10.0.0.x range IP addresses. So if I want to port forward to the virtual NETWORK adapter that has a 192.168 address, I can't, so my LAMP Web server are not accessible to the outside because the router does not send packets on port 80 to the virtual card... How to fix this?
  The only way I guess that is to be assigned an ip address of 10.0.0.x to the virtual NETWORK adapter?
  But how do I do this?
  I tried to do it on the host from the Windows machine with "get my IP address automatically", but she emits an 192.168 address every time...
  Thank you

  Welcome to the community,

  I guess that the virtual computer is currently configured to "NAT" or "Host-Only' networking! That would explain the 192.168.x.x IP address.

  There are 2 options to be able to access the web server on the virtual computer.

  1. with "NAT" network configured

  In this case forward port 80 to the IP address of the host and configure the port forwarding on the virtual computer in the "Virtual Network Editor. This way you can leave the IP address on the private network of 192 (if it is currently set to NAT)

  2. use "Bridged" network layout

  Reconfigure the virtual NETWORK adapter to the machine virtual networking "Bridged" within the parameters of the virtual machine, assign an IP address from your router network (10.x.x.x) and do the port forwarding on the router directly to the IP address of the virtual machine.

• 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

  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.

• sharing files between 'HST' & 'GST' in the guest only network

  Features of the sharing folder between the guest and host is important when guest only network. Unfortunately, I was not able to find accurate answers and but confusion according to the VWMare Server 2.0 documentation and GUI.

  .... To activate the shared folders for the virtual machine, see the documentation for your VMware product...

  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.

• host and network bridge

  Is someone can you please tell me what is the right way to create a virtual machine with the host only networking and a static IP address?

  What should be the range of IP addresses for the host only one virtual computer?

  Thank you.

  OK well with that. But how do I access the virtual machine with an IP 192.168.1.101 host if it uses a briged network and I can not access the same virtual machine (with IP address

  192.168.1.101) so it uses only network host?

  The subnet of the host is only 192.168.50.0

  Because it seems that you use wrong IP address in your comments.

  Each IP network needs its own subnet address. This means that the physical and virtual network who need different IP subnet addresses. This is the case with your installation and that's right.

  If you move the mode prompt "bridged" with IP subnet address 192.168.1.0/24 to 192.168.50.0/24 the guest needs an IP address in this range. Either set it to DHCP and if you have not changed the default settings in VMware it will receive a correct IP address automatically configuration or set the IP address manually, for example 192.168.50.10 (and if this address is still available). Furthermore, if you set the DHCP client and if you have a DHCP server on the local network physical prompt always gets the right to installation when you mofve it from one network to the other.

• Best way to set up a host of ESXi 4 with only 3 network cards?

  Set us up an ESXi 4 Host with 3 cards.  It is a stand-alone server that will not connect to the SAN FC network.  However, we respect the vStorage VM function if necessary.

  With only 3 cards on hand, there's any suggestion on the speed and the consolidation of NETWORK cards that we set up?  Our network administrator wants to give us only 1 x 1 Gbps Connection + 2 x 100 Mbit/s.

  Your suggestion is requested

  Thank you

  Post edited by: TonyJK

  Since you do not connect to FC SAN I guess you have local storage or storage over IP.

  In this case it is recommended to dedicated 1Gbit link for IP storage. If you can not have dedicated you will share Gbit link between the storage on IP and VMs.

  100 MBit NIC cand be used only:

  (1) dedicated storage VMotion or IP management interface

  (2) relief links networks of VM and management failover

  You definitely need at least 2 running on Gbit network cards
