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!

  • 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.

    • 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?

  • 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.

    vmserver2.PDF

    "Shared folder tab.

    VMware Server does not support this feature.

    "VMWare tools properties.

    Shared folders are currently disbled on this host.

    DialogBox help on guest operating system

    -


    .... 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.

    Thank you

    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.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus backup device settings fails and hangs the printer with the CKP1CN1322CR firmware

    When I was with the built-in webserver (EWS) to perform a backup, I get a message saying: "Year Error Has Occurred" and the printer would just lock up and flash lights and compel me to press the power button on the printer to reset.

    I've done a few shrinking down and discovered that this happens only when the Scan-To-Email are selected to be included in the backup. I then discovered that it only happens when I have the email set to a (compressed) PDF Document Type Options.

    I was able to get the backup to succeed by changing the options of Scan - To - Email Email Type of Document to PDF instead of PDF (compressed), then the backup succeeded.

    In this case with the latest version of the firmware: CKP1CN1322CR.

    Here's my printer information page (this could make this message other users to find more easily):

    Product Name   HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g
    Product Model Number    CN579A
    Service ID  23220
    Firmware Version    CKP1CN1322CR
    Country/Region  USA
    

    I couldn't find a place to submit a bug report, so I hope that this information gets to the right people.

    Hmm, I tried this on my 8600 more Offcieejt and can confirm the same behavior, even though I have the firmware CLP1CN1322CR.  I'll forward a link to this topic to some folks at HP who can be able to focus on this.

    Nice work tracking down the details to replicate that.
