How to configure server DHCP of VMware Server 2 to play nice on my network?

I have 8 physical systems running on a network.

A system running VMware Server 2 on it.

Server DHCP of Server2 provides virtual machines with IPs on the 192.168.106 network and they all work fine, all virtual machines find each other and physical systems too.

My wireless router is a DHCP server which provides boxes of physical IPs on the 192.168.2 network and works very well between physical systems.

The problem occurs when a physical systems trying to access a virtual machine.

All virtual machines are set to run in NAT mode, I tried no succcess one either bridged mode.

The VMs system static IPs on the 192.168.2 network also fails miserably as all of my attempts to set masks subnet on all systems.

I think I need to 'fix' the VMware Server 2 DHCP server, but have not yet find data on this topic, and I'm not sure that if I do this will help.

Any solution here would be FANTASTIC.

Past esxi was not really going to do this I feel even if you have not installed - it is really intended for high-end package rather than SATA based servers while sort will work on some.

Their reason to exceed the NAT is filled? If you want to that virtual machines at all simply appear as regular machines on your existing subnet then packed is the easiest way to go because virtual machines must be able to obtain their IP addresses of your router, as well as physical boxes. DHCP server 2.0 is just for the NAT and host only networking that it manages-for machines virtual NAT, you must configure the port forwarding on the host server 2.0 for all the traffic you want to enter in the virtual machines from the outside since by default, all incoming ports are blocked, appropriately with NAT, see Chapter 11 of the user guide - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmserver2.pdf

So, if you want to go to bridge, we need to understand why this does not work as it should be "out of the box" as long as there is no any firewall host or other security software, for example the clients VPN, which will block traffic. What is the host operating system? Please post ipconfig/all or ifconfig - an output of the host and the guest. How have you configured in bridge network - using the default settings? Virtual machines get an IP address from your router?

  • How to configure server settings for my Norton antivirus to analyze my email

    According to Norton to the analysis of e-mail
    This feature does not work if your SMTP or POP3 messaging port is a port of SSL encrypted e-mail. Norton Internet Security supports all e-mail programs that use non - SSL POP3 and SMTP communication protocols
    so should I change the settings or find another email provider

    Regularly see us looks like this and it is difficult to answer because the answer will almost certainly cause offense.

    SSL is the way of the future and you can't collect mail in Gmail, Yahoo or Outlook.com e-mail client unless you use it. Most of the suppliers are also being implemented, as well as IMAP mail to support the connected peripheral world. If your anti virus program can not live in a secured environment, it's time to have one that can. Or better yet have one which does not scan send them at all.

    Analysis of email is very difficult to justify other sounds good in marketing materials. Thunderbird does not allow scripts to run, and is the only way you can get a virus from an email in Thunderbird by opening an attachment. ALL virus programs I've seen have a component (it has a different name for each product) that claims to scan files when you open them and stop infected programs to launch. So, when your attachment is launched, this component will catch the event and stop the infection occurs.

  • How to configure vmware workstation and server Suse 10 as operating system prompted

    Hi, I installed vmware workstation 6.5 on vista and Suse 10 as guest operating system.  I keep Suse as default (without any network configuration).  I modified the default vmware gateway 192.168.2.1 keep even as window by default gateway settings. I also changed to the subnet to 192.168.2.0.  The IP address is replaced by 192.168.2.128. IP address of my Vista is 192.168.2.4 and DNS Server 4.4.4.1 and 4.4.4.2.

    I tried to ping between host and guest, and comments to the host, but still received the error of "destination host unreachable". It does not matter using host only or NAT mode.

    All Documents available? All advice? What do I have to configure Suse network. ?

    Thank you

    INET addr:192.168.30.128 Bcast:192.168.30.255 mask: 255.255.255.0

    If the IP address of comments has the correct value you use VMnet8, not VMnet1. It should work, but this isn't the network "host-only '. That's what I need the .vmx file for. If this indicates that the virtual NETWORK adapter is configured as 'host-only' the IP of comments is wrong. It must be 192.168.17.x in this case.

    However... try to get a ping of the IP address, not name. Depending on the configuration you have posted, you should try to ping the 192.168.30.1 customer and 192.168.30.128 host. Don't forget that cannot work if your client is configured to use instead of VMnet1 VMnet8. If it is really configured to use VMnet1 you must change the IP of comments that I wrote above.

    If the host and the guest have active firewall disable them for testing purposes.

    Furthermore, by default, VMware installs a DHCP for VMnet1 and VMnet8 service. So if this service is still running on your host computer, you can assign the DHCP client and he gets the appropriate automatically for the network IP address.

    I don't no how to open the *.vmx in text format.  I noticed that vmnet1 IP address on the side of the BACK is 192.168.17.1 but side comments, it is established as 192.168.20.0.

    It is a text file. Just open in an editor and copy and paste it or attach the file to your next post.

    Help. How to configure Thunderbird to receive both my email accounts that are through a server?

    It seems that it works if you are wanting to have more than one 'account '.

    HOWEVER, I wanted to add a 4th e-mail address 3 I already had and worked very well. That of what I did and voila! It worked. It is the path: Tools-> Options-> Security-> passwords-> Saved going on-> show passwords go there and keep it open while you
    try to send an email from your new address. A message appears saying that password has failed, I had to insert a password. While information appears automatically in the list on the chart you have open. Of course you need to add this new email address to your list first.

  • How to configure a FTP server and the web and integrate with 5.2 DMM

    Hi all...

    I need to set up an external server only for publishing content to reduce the overhead of the DMM server.

    can someone guide me on how to configure the external server and it intergrate with the DMM 5.2

    Thank you

    semuthu,


    Notes from the Release Notes:


    Limitations of compatibility with Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS)

    DMP who use firmware version 5.2 is compatible with a single version of Microsoft Internet Information Server.

    This supported version is IIS 6.0 for Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition. If you do not have the support for IIS version but

    want your DMP to recover the assets of a Web server, we recommend that you use Apache instead of IIS.



    I suggest to use Apache instead of IIS for the Web Server service. IIS can be used as FTP if necessary.

    There are a lot of Documents on the Internet concerning the implementation of Apache and FTP servers.

    in the configuration of your virtual machine, the main issue is memory. you gave the 2 GB of RAM, whereas ESXi 6 cannot go forward without minimum 4 GB of RAM.

    If please have 4 GB of RAM and re-run Setup. you will get through.

    message about the network card should also not appear after that. What kind of network you choose depends on your need.
