Network bridge in VMware Workstation 11 connection problems

• 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.

  

  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.

  

  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.

  

  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".

• NAT with VMWare Workstation 9-Urgent problems

  
  Hello

  Try to use NAT in VMware Workstation 9 and am lost in my VM connection.

  But when I use the network bridge, it works very well.

  Is someone can you please help me solve?

  I tried reinstalling VMware workstation for all n No.. times and restored the settings of the Virtual Network Editor as well.

  Help, please!

  It seems that the client does not receive a DHCP address? Assuming that the virtual network adapter in the virtual machine settings is 'connected' (which, I guess, because you said Bridged works very well), you can check if there is a problem with the installation. Please run services. MSC (or net start from the command line) to see what VMware services are running on the host computer.

• Network with HP Officejet 8500 A910A connectivity problem

  Network router: Linksys E4200

  Previously connected this printer on the network without any problems.

  Moved the printer to a new room and can connect is more.

  I am a professional computer experience and I'm stumped.

  I realize that closing the printer will probably caused a new IP address will be assigned by DHCP and we tried to work around that.

  Reset printer to factory default and reinstalled and reconnected to the network. Router can see the printer and now I have manually configured a static IP address for the printer. 192.168.1.101

  Router can ping the printer with no problems.

  None of my Windows 7 machines can ping the printer. I used the HP Support Assistant. You can find regularly but rarely the printer on the network. Even when it does not find the printer I still cannot ping it the same machine through the command line. I used printing HP and doctor Scan to check the network settings and I configured the static IP address on the printer to match the same subnet mask and gateway as found via the diagnostic tool. Still no dice.

  Puzzled and would like to know the pointers.

  Thanks in advance!

  Greg

  Correct me if I'm wrong, but Linksys DHCP IP 192.168.1.100 are thru.254 if I remember correctly.  You have a static IP address within the range the router DHCP.  You must configure the static IP address of 192.168.1.2 a.99.    Try using 192.168.1.10 as a static IP address.  Now go back and reinstall the drivers and full software.  Try now.

• VMware player 5 - connection in bridge problem

  Hi all!

  I am writing because I have a very big problem with the network bridged in Vmware player 5.0.2. No matter what I do it just would not work. NAT and host options only work very well and there is no problem with them. My NIC has vmware bridge Protocol, 'automatic connection settings' and "virtual network editor" is set on this particular card. The only thing I can think is firewall (Norton 360) that can block the connection but all of the vmware software components are allowed to work and NAT service works, so I don't know if this could be the case. I would be very grateful for any advice.

  I have attached the PDF with screenshots showing my configuration. 

  
  

  Norton PS options are in Polish, but they essentially say that Vmware is allowed and that inbound netBIOS' / netBIOS name "communication and communication incoming/outgoing ICMP is blocked.

  P.S in case of faults of vocabulary and that I'm sorry. p

  No, NIC in the host is virtualized / ripped off by the monitor of machine virtual and presented to the customer in a standard way - always cable.  It doesn't matter if the host is using wired or wireless.  Was just letting you know that you can use specific tools wireless in your guest on a virtual NETWORK adapter in this way.  The only way to get into a wireless client is to use a USB wireless adapter and attach that to the guest.  There will of course have to then the drivers for the USB NIC you use.

• How to activate the Internet connection on Windows Server 2003 is installed in the virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8?

  I have Windows Server 2003 is installed on a virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8. I need it to learn and practice the use of the Active Directory. I've also set up 3 Windows XP workstations connect to it, which means that they can communicate with Server 2003. What is lacking is the Internet connection on all of them. When I run ping 8.8.8.8 in one of these virtual machines, I get, 'Destination host unreachable.'

  I'm not sure, what if the problem comes from the settings in Windows or the settings of the virtual machine.

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you, guys. I was finally able to put in place. It was quite an ordeal to deal with IP addresses and virtual networks. Here's how I did (in the screenshots) in case someone else needs it.

  (I also confess that it is perhaps one of the ways to implement. Maybe there is an easier way to do it with DHCP...)

  1. in your computer where is installed VMware Workstation 8 begin the "Virtual Network Editor." It is located in the folder of installation of VMware Workstation. And implement the network following (VMnet2 in my case):

  

  2 then in VMware Workstation itself in the virtual machine when Windows Server 2003 is installed set up two network as connections:

  This one is for external access to the Internet:

  

  And this one for intranet communications AD:

  

  3. then in the machine virtual de Windows Server 2003 set up what follows for two network adapters:

  For Internet access:

  

  Then, you need allow this connection to share:

  

  And then for the ad access to workstations (ensure that the static IP address is in the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor). I've also set up DNS to 127.0.0.1 because I installed on this Windows 2003 DNS server:

  

  4. from the Windows 2003 VM try ping 8.8.8.8. It should work now.

  5. go to each workstation, in my case, Windows XP, each in its own virtual machine and set up the network in the VMware Workstation as follows:

  

  6. then in the virtual machine, configure the network connection for Windows XP workstation. Don't forget to assign a new static IP address for each workstation, which not coinside with IP of the domain (this IP address must come from the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor):

  

  7. try first ping the domain, in my case ping 192.168.237.128. And then Internet, ping 8.8.8.8. The two should work!

  Continue with steps [5-7].

• The network bridge does not connect after resume the S3, Windows 7 x 64 & x 86.

  I installed a network bridge between my wireless network card and a local LAN port on my motherboard, I have my xbox connected to the LAN port and the wireless card has the connection to the internet.  Everything works as expected and I have full access to the internet on PC and xbox.  Issues occurs when I upgraded my PC to sleep and then wake the system, wireless connection works as expected and can see my router but the network bridge not be re - not connecting, I have to disable the bridge then turn it back on until it will work...
  The same Vista configuration worked without problem.

  I'm having the same problem as you, I'm trying to use my laptop to connect my Xbox 360 to my wireless network. It works very well, I have to disable and then re-enable the Miniport MAC bridge or a connection to the Local network after every sleep sleep before that it will work again.

  I noticed that I can not ping even the Xbox until one of these actions is carried out, I don't think that it is actually a problem with the network bridge, but with the ethernet connection (Marvell Yukon 88E8038 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller for me). I agree I think that it is an OS problem because I also do not experience the problem with ICS but then cannot be a State of NAT open for the 360.

  An obvious solution is a script that you can run to disable and re-enable the connection to the Local network, someone there at least an easy way to do this?

  EDIT: actually I think I just solved the problem by doing exactly the opposite of what I saw as the solution proposed several other places.

  1. open Device Manager

  2. Select the network adapters, find your ethernet card, do a right click on it and go to properties

  3. click on the power management tab.

  4. make sure that the "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" box IS COCHEE

  5. apply the settings, and then click OK.

  FACT

  I hope this helps you.

• How to disable the server of VMware Workstation share

  How to disable the sharing of VMware Workstation Server using a configuration of the registry or configuration file. I have several workstations on the network that has VMware workstation 8.0.4 install and I need to turn off sharing for all users. This function is located in preferences/Shared VMs.   I need to be able to adjust this setting to disable remote. The host computers using windows xp. Any help will be appreciated.

  It depends how you are going to access various systems is however here two options that you can include in any method you choose.  We need to create a. CMD file and the other is to use just one. REG file.

  The command Disable_VMwareHostd.cmd of Script can be as simple as:

  net stop VMwareHostd
  reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\VMwareHostd /v Start /t REG_DWORD /d 00000004 /f
  

  The Disable_VMwareHostd.reg file would be:

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
  
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\VMwareHostd]
  "Start"=dword:00000004
  

  Note: Always two empty lines at the end of the .reg file.

  The syntax of the command to execute would be:

  regedit /s Disable_VMwareHostd.reg
  

  Note that just by using a .reg file, you must always stop the VMwareHostd Service, so I would opt for the use of the method of Script command as it will stop the VMwareHostd Service and turn it off at the same time.

  I still have my put networks in place to be able to (with authentication) execute commands remotely and or push the or the files that are necessary to achieve the objective.  In a case like this, when I had hundreds of systems to change I write a binary executable to fix the problem, which would automatically run when the user logged on to the domain, but if you don't have programming skills so then using a Script command and or file Reg can / will do the job.

• VMware Workstation 8 - can't share a VM

  Hello

  I just installed VMware Workstation 8 on a Windows Server 2003 R2 64-bit (I've had beta of VMware Workstation 8 and I uninstalled it before this new facility).

  The problem is that I can't share a virtual machine more. This feature is used to work but in the beta...

  Here is the message I get when trying to share the virtual machine (Edition-> Preferences-> sharing VMs):

  VMware Workstation cannot connect to the server of workstation

  I checked VMWare Workstation Server service and it is not started. I tried to start it manually (I also tried to change the account) but without success. I'm constanthy get:

  Windows could not start VMWare Workstation Server on the Local computer. For more information, see the system event log.

  I have in the Application event log:

  Would be blocked by an access protection rule (rule is in warning mode) (Virtual Machine Protection: prevent modification of VMWare Server files and settings).

  In the system event log, I have:

  The VMware Workstation Server service stopped with error 4294967295 (0xFFFFFFFF) special service.

  Please notify.

  Kind regards

  Thanks for the link of the Tejas article, I don't understand however why do I need to reinstall Workstation 8? Can you please explain?

  Could you try anyway?  There is always the possibility that there could be bugs in the installer that caused the service not be installed and configured properly.

  In addition, when you try to start the service, could check to see if a file pass-# .log is created in the %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\hostd? (Since you were able to run the beta version on this system before, make sure you check the timestamps.)

• ESXi on VMWare Workstation with widows 2008 comments

  Hello

  I am about to begin a new deployment and I tested some things before that I have shell out money for new equipment and software.

  I tested Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit on VMWare Workstation and everything is good.  My VMWare Workstation is on Win 7 64 bit

  Ultimately, this equipment will run on ESX, vSphere Essentials through.   To test this, I installed ESXi 4 Update 1 inside VMWare Workstation.

  Because the vSphere client is not supported on Windows 7, I installed the Client vSphere on Win XP 32 bit inside another guest of VMWare Workstation.

  During the installation of Windows 2008 R2 64-bit on ESXi, via vSphere on XP, I get the following error

  Trying to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU in is not compatible with the 64-bit mode.

  Well, I know that my cpu is 64-bit capable, because I'm already under 64-bit so much already.

  It worries me a bit, because I wasn't expecting this obstacle - my test was to validate a number of other things, not this and now I think I might switch to Hyper-V.

  I already searched the forums, and from what I found, nothing has solved the problem yet

  However, there could be a saving grace - could the fact that I'm under esxi in vmware workstation cause this problem?

  Paul

  You're out of luck.

  You cannot run 64-bit inside a virtual ESX clients.

  Nested VMs have no VT support, you need to run a 64-bit client

  Abot any idea how to solve this problem?

  In Network Bridge Windows do not work. The virtual machine does not connect to the physical network.

  Please after the output of ipconfig/all from the host as well as comments (assuming that both are running Windows)

  When I open the network Editor, the drop-down list "bridged to" do not show any VMware virtual network adapter.

  That is right. You need to select this box is the physical adapter on the host, which is used for the virtual machine bridge traffic.

  Run any software firewall or on the host endpoint protection?

  Two physical machines have connectivity, no problem, Pc1 and PC2.

  Virtual machines have two connectivity with DC IP 172.17.0.205 and also DC for two machines, nslookups works OK.

  There is no ping between machines on the physical PC1 comments, well not exactly I have ping of W2008 in W2003 but not for W2008 W2003, there is no firewall and no antivirus, no, default configuration, I tried to uninstall W2008 and install the other W2003 and no results, so there is no problem of OS Windows.

  I'm trying to change the configuration of the network, tried to bridge, host, nat, custom, I tried vmware workstation version 6.0 and 6.5.3 and don't find any solution.

  Any ideas?

  Is there any antivirus running on the guest operating system?
