No guest network connectivity

Hello

I'm definitely a newbie so please bear with me.

I have just completed a new installation of ESXi 4. The host server has 1 NETWORK card that I have assigned a static ip address: 10.10.10.101 (255.255.255.0 subnet mask)

I installed 2 virtual machines. A Windows 2008 with a static ip address: 10.10.10.102 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0) and a windows 2003 server with a static ip address: 10.10.10.103 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0)

The server ESXi NETWORK card is connected to a switch which I also connected an other PC running windows XP (255.255.255.0 subnet mask ip address 10.10.10.2) on this machine, I run my VSphere client.

OK, here's my problem:

My XP machine I can ping the host ESXi NIC but I get no response from network adapters on the virtual machines. When I connect to each of the virtual machines I only ping the NIC ESXi host I can't ping the machine XP or the other guest. So bacically everything can ping the physical card on the ESXi host, but that's all. Virtual machines cannot ping each other and neither can they ping all machines on the physical network.

My installation is completely standard, accepting all the defaults. A single virtual switch, a 'network of the VM' containing my two virtual machines, a "network Manangment" and a "physical map".

Any help or advice would be much appreciated. If you need more let me know.

Magic,

First of all start by loggin on virtual machines and other machine to see if either may ping virtual.  I know you said that anything can ping the ESXi host adapter, but two virtual machines on the same virtual switch must be able to communicate with each other first.

If they cannot ping each other, but they can ping on the ESXi host, I suspect that you have the Windows Firewall on.  You can disable this control panel or by accessing services and slaughter the Windows Firewall Service.

Once, you can get the ESXi host and virtual machines to ping each other, then you can test the network outside the ESXi host connectivity.  Once again the XP machine can also have a firewall, so if you have the DNS server, the default gateway or something like www.google.com can be a better test.

I hope this helps.

  • WAP321 captive portal - impossible to set up the guest network connection

    Hello community.

    I use two WAP321 with the latest Firmware (1.0.6.2) in a cluster.

    Both are connected to a switch SG300-10 (FW: 1.4.1.3) in Mode of L3.

    The switch is connected to a router RV130 (FW: 1.0.2.7).

    The router has Inter-VLAN-routing active and static routes for my VLANS configured.

    To one of the Interfaces of the router is a connected DNS/DHCP server that manages the resolution of names and the dynamic distribution of IP4 for my network.

    In my network, I have different VLAN for customers, management, server, test and the WLAN clients.

    So far so good.

    I have install on the WAP321 cluster, an intern (VAP0) and a guest WLAN (VAP1) using the Setup Wizard.

    Delivery of DHCP and DNS lookups are ok for two wireless LANs.

    Settings WAP VLAN and IP4 address are:

    -untagged VLAN: enabled

    -untagged VLAN ID: e.g. 3

    -Management VLAN ID: the same without tag VLAN ID

    -IPv4 parameters are static in the ip range of the VLAN untagged

    -DNS server are set to manual for a server in VLAN 4 and to 8.8.8.8

    My problem is that I can connect to the WLAN comments but I never get the captive portal login screen.

    The First-Instance Association captive portal is set to VAP1.

    The Configuration of the Instance in captivity 'Vérification' is located in the local.

    A group and users are configured.

    The customer obtain an IP address in the host IP address range VLAN and can search names and IPS, e.g. www.cisco.com.

    If I try to open a Web site, and then I get the message that the server did not respond.

    Impatience on your part.

    Rainer.

    That's great. I'm glad to hear that.

  • 10 mb on the guest operating system network connection

    I just installed ESXi 4.0 on a server that has 6 physical Gigabit NIC I only got one of them enabled for now. I created a new virtual machine with a clean install of Windows XP Pro and I was quite surprised to find that when finally completed XP installation, she did know that the speed of 10mbit NETWORK card. Although the physical NETWORK adapter on the server is a Gigabit NIC, its connected to a 10/100 switch and the lisghts on the connection stating that the ESXi NIC host operating at 100 Mbps. Is there a reason why the guest operating system should see a 10mbit connection?

    Concerning

    Eugene Gill

    I agree with the previous post, but it should also check your network connection on your host computer speed (host, configuration tab, click on networking) to see how fast has been negotiated.

  • Network connectivity XP Guest crashes: need help quickly!

    I have troubleshooted of many problems of VMware workstation over the years on my own; However, this one has me baffled.

    The installation program:

    • Client: Windows XP SP3. 1.4 GB of RAM. 2 processors.

    • Host: Linux 2.6.25 (Gentoo). AMD X 2 5600 + 2.9 Ghz. 4 GB of RAM. VMware Workstation v. 6.05

    Behavior

    From some time last week, the guest started crashing on boot. After some troubleshooting, I discovered that the guest will begin and if the networks virtual Ethernet (NAT and host-only) are disconnected. To log in after that start immediately blocked the prompt. I have not tested extensively, I think that the client works fine if the Ethernet devices are disconnected.

    Corrections attempted

    • I'd say it's Needless to say, but I'll say. VMtools are installed and up-to-date.

    • I tried to uninstall devices ethernet comments, turn on/off the guest and then reinstalling the virtual devices in the virtual machine settings.

    • Both devices on the guest had been set with static IP (below the range assigned by DHCP); However, their DHCP definition made no difference.

    • I ran the vmware script - configures .pl.

    • I rebuilt and manually installed modules (vmblock.ko, vmmon.ko, vmnet.ko).

    • I ran the guest with the debugger; However, the newspaper produces no significant output.

    • I tried to start an installation that I had saved a few months ago. He has shown the same behavior.

    • Virtual devices host seem to work correctly:

    If you want to never see the comments network, disable the network comments option in the configuration menu of your router.

    The "Guest" is an option on many routers that allows you to have people connect to internet via wifi from your router, but not have access to your home network.

  • Why can't I configure guest network?

    TV, telephone and Internet are brought home through fiber TDS and distributed to households through ethernet.

    Actiontec modem/router (Model T 2200 H of TDS), is connected via LAN to my Airport Extreme (model HE ME918 / bought 08/09/15), and the primary network works fine.

    Recently, I tried to set up a network of comments and set up a name and a password. iPad, laptop or phone unable to connect to the Guest network.

    I have not noticed any IP address, subnet mask, router, DNS and search domains in the boxes associated with the network of comments.

    Is the router "does not fully with Airport Extreme" or something else.

    TDS is very focused on the PC and I found even any reference in section helps the router that they issued me so I'm not very confident that they will be a lot of help.

    Thank you in advance for any help posted here.

    Why can not put in place a network of comments?

    You have an Actiontec modem/router...and that you need a simple modem... If you want the function of feedback network works on the AirPort Extreme.

    When AirPort Extreme "sees" another router on the network, it is configured in Bridge Mode in order to avoid a situation where you have two routers on the same network, the two try to act as routers. That will produce any IP address conflicts and another called problem Double NAT... you do not want on your network.

    Unfortunately, the AirPort Extreme network comments feature won't work correctly when the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode.

    If Actiontec modem/router can be configured to operate as a simple modem.. .not one router... so the network comments feature will work correctly on the AirPort Extreme. Check with your provider to see if this could be a possibility.

  • How is "Guest network" differs from the main network?

    I just purchased and installed a refurbished Airport Express. Everything works fine. In the installation program, it gave me the opportunity to create a network of comments, which I did and it works. My question: How is this different guest network from my main network?

    "Guests" that connect to the network comments can only access the Internet.  They cannot "see" devices on your main or private network.

    So if you want to not "invited" to see your personal devices and possibly see your private data on your computer or computers on your private network... or... you don't want to give "guest" password to your network private... it makes sense to leave the 'invited' to use the guest network.

  • Windows Vista continues to try to connect to the VirtualProfile in network connections.

    I was helping my brother set up its new Netgear Wireless USB adapter in Windows Vista and kept running into the same problem.  Once the adapter has been installed, Vista would continue to try to connect to a VirtualProfile under network connections which would interfere with the connection of the profile.  I had my brother take the VirtualProfile and then it connected correctly.  However, after each reboot, the connection of VirtualProfile appears every time and we need to start over the process.  A way to remove this VirtualProfile permanently and why what is happening?  Thanks for any input.

    original title: Wireless Virtual Network profile

    Hello Flash4,

    Thank you for choosing Microsoft answers forum for Windows Vista.

    I suggest you go to your network card making and download / install the latest drivers.

    Also I suggest that you check your system for corrupted files. You use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to check and repair corrupt system files. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. open an elevated command prompt.

    2. to do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
     
    3. type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    Hope this information is useful.

    Thank you.

  • The network connection issues of comments with EA6300 (Linksys Smart wifi router AC1200)

    I have a friend who runs a Bed and Breakfast, and it is problems with guests to be able to connect to the Guest network.  She bought this router on the recommendation of Best Buy Geek Squad, after that she had a few problems with his predecessor.

    Everything is configured correctly, the router seems to work very well, especially with the normal network.  Network comments can be seen, with a decent amount of signal strength, but when people try and connect to the network and try to use it, they are never invited for comments login screen.

    I was able to verify that it works in fact - I helped set it up, but apparently there are several people who use Android phones and tablets and iPads that do not receive a prompt to enter the password of comments and continue.

    Is there any manual addresses can be entered in a browser to access the web connection screen invited?

    OR even better, is there a way to assign the password to the guest SSID as a normal wireless access point rather than allowing customers to connect to a password-promptless guest SSID and must try to finagle screen comments for pop up password?

    It's very frustrating for both my friend who runs a business and myself who are in favour.  The router is defective?  Y at - it a new firmware?  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi troybenedict. For Android tablets and phones, there is an option there to forget the network.  Let them do first and connect again.

    In addition, they should asked for the password only when they begin to access Web sites.  They do not have that?

    You can also check the number of comments allowed Guest Access tab. There are limits the number of authorized clients.

  • MAC filtering with guest network

    Hello, I have E4200v2 of Cisco, and after someone hacked password of my router, I was forced to activate a white list of MAC filtering. Problem is that I also like to activate a network of comments so my small business clients could still connect to the wifi, without acceding to out to home PC (and drink our bandwidth).

    Is this possible? Thank you.

    1. make sure that disable WPS.

    2 change the router password on the Administration page to guarantee something.

    3 make sure to disable remote management.

    4. set WPA2 Personal with a new strong password.

    5 disable the feedback network.

    That will protect your network. Piracy is not possible unless someone passes the WPA2 password or have access to the router and ethernet ports.

    The MAC filter won't help you. MAC addresses are transferred, are easily picked up and not cloned.

    If you want to activate the guest network you must accept the fact that other computers connect to your guest network and try to access the internet from there. They manage unless they know the password, but still, they can connect to the guest network because it is not protected. Only access from the network invited to the internet is protected.

    He must also accept the fact that you can "drink your bandwidth. If you do not like who don't offer guest access.

  • Guest network: ESET detects open network

    A parent has an EA6400. It has established its guest access. A guest the latter using an Android with ESET security phone received the following message:

    Security risk

    Connected to 'XXPrivateXX-comments '.

    Open network

    ESET recommends:

    Connecting to public Wi - Fi networks without encryption, your data can be easily captured by the eavesdroppers. Watch by accessing or submitting sensitive information over public networks without encryption application.

    Its 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz both have security mode WPA2-Personal. The router is password protected.

    Why the Android with ESET phone give the message in bold above? And what can we do?

    Hi, KStecyk. The guest network on the router Linksys EA6400 seems to be an open network, it doesn't have a lock on it, and he just allows you to connect automatically. However, once you connect to your phone's browser, it will ask you to type the password for comments before connect you to the internet. So it is always a secure network.

    Anyone come across this and know how to fix?

    THX

    I think I may have found the culprit. I can't say for sure, of course, having failed to make a blind study. But my boss was to restore my 8.1 instant, then uninstall the Cisco VPN client and a RSA customer. After the reboot, I then launched the upgrade based on the ISO Win10, who has worked. In addition, networking is in place! My suspicion is that the Cisco VPN client interferes with the network during the upgrade installation.

  • Questions of ESXi 5.1 ISCSI--> cannot establish a network connection (continued)

    Hello world

    I had a problem there not too long ago (thread link below) where my ESXi hosts could not establish a connection with an IBM DS3500 on start up and "rescan", however their connectivity worked correctly without any problem after commissioning and when a "rescan" finished. We determined that the most likely cause was the unit IBM itself. However, I wasn't completely satisfied.

    In order to deepen the question and dismiss my guests being the problem, I created a unit ISCSI myself with two new hosts of ESXi 5.1 (version 1157734).

    ESXi signals that it cannot connect to the initiator ISCSI (network error) - but it can run virtual machines and browse data stores?

    The configuration is the following:

    Test environment:

    2 x ESXi 1157734 hosts

    1 x server Freenas ISCSI (ZFS R10)

    At the start of my ESXi hosts in the test environment, download the same error as our production environment. They also put on the same error message (in the event log) when I "rescan" map of the ISCSI software. However, once the scan is finished, I can't see any error message and everything continues as it should (Round robin, active active). I can get a brilliant flow also. It's as if the errors are almost... false positives?

    Example of the error message (test environment):

    Connection to the iSCSI target

    IQN.2011 - 03.org.example.istgt:iscsi on vmhba35

    @ vmk2 has failed. The iSCSI initiator couldn't

    establish a network connection to the target.

    17/10/2013-08:33:35

    ESXi hosts are configured as follows:

    Test environment:

    • (ESXi hosts) Two network cards for ISCSI, one for VM traffic
      • NIC1: 10.20.20.2/24, NIC2: 10.30.30.2/24
    • (Freenas) Two network cards installed on the ISCSI device (dedicated to ISCSI traffic)
      • NIC1: 10.20.20.1/24, NIC2: 10.30.30.1/24
    • ESXi is set to round robin, which works properly (I can max on both ports at the same time)
    • Two VMKs are related to the ISCSI Software initiator and defined to dynamically discover the two ISCSI addresses
    • Unity of ISCSI and the hosts are not on the VLAN, the switch is dedicated to ISCSI traffic (However in the production, the two networks are separated by VLAN.) I removed the in the test environment to simplify everything)
    • The vSwitches (who hold a single VMK for ISCSI) are fixed:
      • "Promiscuous" mode: reject
      • Change of MAC address: accept
      • Forged passes: accept
      • The traffic shaping: disabled
      • No NIC teaming (obviously)
      • Each VMK inherits the settings of these

    Quick points:

    • My hosts use VMware approved NIC in my test environment. My production environment runs on full VMware hardware approved
    • Can I use ping of vmk join each each VMK ISCSI initiator
    • I can use the nc-z target_ip 3260 command to check connectivity to the port
    • The ISCSI test has two network adapters, each on 1 Gbps ports
      • I can get around 800mbps per port when copying lots of files (both ports are active)
      • I see no error in copying a large number of virtual machines around, or backup files
    • I only see errors on start up and "rescan".
    • I have two network adapters on each host ESXi dedicated for ISCSI. Each NETWORK card has a single VMK. A single mapped port on ISCSI, the other is mapped to port B (I used to have two VMKs by nic, but I removed that in order to simplify everything)
    • I have updated the firmware on our switch of production. No results
    • I've used 4 different switches in order to avoid a network problem. No results
    • I tested ESXi versions 5.0, 5.1 (799733 & 1157734), all have the same mistakes
    • The ISCSI ports are on different networks according to the VMware (I was told not to put on the same network VMKs)

    Any ideas? It's starting to drive me up the wall. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I've seen several times in recent months and was beginning to think it is specific to the HP P2000 units because it's the only time wherever I saw him! I now believe that ESX/iSCSI rather than issues of driver or table.

    On my last install, I found that errors occur as soon as the table is connected, i.e. before any storage is displayed.

    Single host ESX, no guests. 2 Intel adapters to 2 HP past by dedicated HP P2000 1 GB table with all 8 wired ports.

    All roads are good, all lights are in the State expected.

    It did not affect the use of the storage in question to any site, so there has been no need / a momentum of any further investigation.

    B! 886y annoying however!

    Thank you.

    Welcome to the community,

    There could be several reasons for this.

    • How many cards of network interface (wired / wireless) do you have in your system? If you have more than one, make sure that you configure the network bridged in the 'virtual network' Editor to use an appraiser NIC dedicated to 'automatic '.
    • You use a managed physical switch? Some switches have port security enabled by default, which limits the number of MAC addresses on a single switch port.
    • Do you have firewall or Endpoint Protection SW installed on the system? Make sure that the traffic is not blocked by any of these applications.
