Updates destroy virtual network setting

When will stop destroying my definitions of virtual network, whenever I update VMware Workstation? I have four physical interfaces on 3 physically different networks. Whenever I update the workstation, I have to rebuild my virtual network EVERY TIME!

I would like to talk to the idiot in charge of this design decision making.

Brian Nelson

the only parameters that are preserved during an upgrade are the beaches of network for vmnet1 and vmnet8.

If you want to keep the settings more - as the gateways, bridge-settings or so now you need to do it yourself

You will store bridge-the key export settings

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VMnetBridge\Parameters\Adapters

To keep the walkways, the parameters for the vmnets use netshell commands

  • Strange editor behavior of virtual network after updating to Windows 7


    Do not know exactly if that's when it happened (update of windows 7) but now when I go in the editor of virtual network, or add a new network or simply modify an existing one, the one I hit

    Any IP field I try to edit/change I can only add two numbers. If there already 3 and I stress and variation 1 of them I can do that two digits by field.

    Then 192.168.100.0 and try to change the TI 100 to 101 going to 10, can I change the 10 to 99, 40 any other number but not a 3 digit number.

    This happened on the workstation 10 if I support (uninstalled) reved and re-installed WS 9 same behavior.

    Anyone else seeing this?

    Thank you

    Found. If I use a custom DPI setting (or 134% of normal), I get the funky behavior.

    If I use the default or 125% setting, everything is good.

    Returned to the standard windows display driver just to see if the same thing and it was (NVidia card) vs NVidia GEForce driver

  • How to set up a virtual network that is isolated inside of vCenter

    I would like to set up a virtual network isolated within my vCenter environment, I have a domain controller and a few machines, I want them to be able to speak for them, but not to our network, is this possible?

    Can I simply create a vSwitch and attach it to any vmnic? Then add all the machines on the same workgroup?

    Yes it is possible.  Yes, just create a vSwitch and not to attach any /vmnics physical NIC and then add all the machines to the vSwitch.  Also, be sure to use a range of ip addresses that is completely different from your production environment.

    You can also use private VLANs.

    Please check the useful and accurate.

  • How to set a specific MAC address for a virtual NETWORK adapter in ESXi 4.1?

    I would like to move a virtual machine to another server ESXi, but I saw every time I use the converter, it changes the MAC of the virtual network interface! Also if I copy the virtual machine to a vmware 2.0 server the same thing happens. Is it possible to keep the same address in another computer and turn off the virtual machine from the first computer source to avoid conflicts of mac?

    Thank you.

    Using the converter, you'll always end up with a different MAC address. If you just want to "pass" the virtual machine, you can use utilities like of Veeam FastSCP.

    Another option is to set up a MAC address in the network settings of the virtual machine. After conversion, you can reset the MAC address to the value of "old."

    For some hosted VMware products (such as Workstation and Server maybe player) there's a vmx ethernetX.checkMACAddress = "FALSE" setting that allows you to set any MAC address you want to. For more information, see http://sanbarrow.com/vmx/vmx-network-advanced.html.

  • Need help to choose the correct setting in the virtual network Editor

    This is my first time using machines virtual period. What I do is implementing a laboratory MCSE to follow certain CBT courses, I bought. I created a team of three virtual machines - two of them that are running WIndows Server 2003 and the other WIndows XP. The lab wants to use the following TCP/IP parameters for the three machines (Server1, Server11 and XP1)

    Server1:

    192.168 1,201

    255.255.255.0

    192.168.1.254

    11 server: 192.168.1.211 (same gateway and subnet as Server1)

    XP1: 192.168.1.1 (ditto for the door and the subnet as Server1)

    Primary DNS is set to 192.168.1.201 (Server1 is DNS server).

    Default VMWorkstation allowed me to ping both servers very well without any additional configuration. My problem is when I try to fix the DNS redirector on Server1. Any DNS server IP address that I plug in I could not get my XP box to get out of the Internet. I know it's a problem with my virtual network settings, I'm sure. Problem is I don't know where to start. Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Thank you!

    General things:

    You cannot use the IP address ranges which are used somewhere else, and that the host might be able to see.

    Type ' ipconfig/all' on the host and the glance to the adapter VMnet8. Suppose you see a 192.168.30.1 there. This means that your network VMnet8 address is 192.168.30.0/24 (24 =, displayed subnet mask as 255.255.255.0).

    Your DNS and gateway for virtual systems would be 192.168.30.2.

    You can check this in the editor of virtual network on the NAT tab.

    To change the range of network addresses VMnet8 you must use the virtual network Editor.

    1. go on 'host Virtual Network Mapping.

    2. click on the ">" beside VMnet8 and choose "subnet".

    3. change address you need. It's the network address, so the last digit (in your case!) should be 0. The address range should not be used elsewhere (physical network, VMnet1).

    4. click on 'apply '.

    5. When you click on the ">" again and choose DHCP or NAT you can see that all addresses have been changed accordingly.

    When you enter ' ipconfig/all' to the host, you will see that the VMnet8 host adapter has an IP address of your selected range with 1 node address (e.g. 192.168.1.1).

    The gateway and the DNS so its node address + 1 (192.168.1.2).

  • Check Point virtual network adapter for SSL Network Extender

    I just downloaded an update recommended for Windows 10. After updating downlaoded, whenever I start my computer it say compatibility assistant this app is not working properly try to reinstall Check Point virtual network adapter for SSL Network Extender. Why do I get this notice? I have no problem getting on the internet. I have a modem and a router that work well with all my devices. I use an ethernet cable, nothing has changed in addition to the recommended update.

    I thought I would try devices and adapters Manager double click Network and looked for updates. Updated and now I don't get notification any longer.

  • Ea6400: virtual network

    Once more a question and then I think my router is perfect

    I have some IP cameras on my WiFi network.

    When I want to see them out I had to do a virtual network on my old router.

    When I go to Conectifity > Advanced routing

    I see that NAT and RIP

    Static routing is not the same as in the old router.

    But how I do on this one?

    Thanks for the thought.

    Hi taxikemperman. I agree with what proposes FurryNutz. You need to forward ports to access the cameras remotely. You can also register for any server domain so that you can easily access the camera outside your network. I would also say that you set a static IP address on each of the wireless camera, so you can correctly determine which cameras, you are trying to access.

  • Software exists for the creation of a 'virtual' network card and going to all the traffic on the local network through a proxy server, then by this adapter?

    I can access net through LAN and my college requires a proxy for all access to the internet. If you want to use the internet, it is impossible to do not use a proxy. This is a problem for many programs that do not seem to allow you to enter the proxy settings.

    any software is to create a 'virtual' network adapter that will pass all traffic network (or any protocol x traffic) through the proxy?

    So I have do not need to enter the proxy anywhere... and I have normal internet access.
    What I saw is possible with OpenVPN, but it is a vpn service that I need .i just want to use the feature. In OpenVPN I just enter my proxy server in its framework and OpenVPN to connect to a VPN service and routes all traffic to the FAUCET adapter after which I don't need to set the proxy address anywhere... so my idea is how can I use only the last part that is routing all my LAN traffic to a virtual card.

    Support the LAN---> proxy---> virtual adapter--->, then software I access the net

    That's what I like to do...

    Although I am facing this problem on Windows 7, solutions for all operating systems are welcome.

    P.S: Proxifier is not my solution to not offer something like this.

  • PIX 515e, multiple VIRTUAL networks on a physical interface to DMZ

    We try to set up multiple VIRTUAL networks on a physical interface to the DMZ on a PIX 515e.

    The goal is to have logical subnets linked to our single, physical interface DMZ.

    Here's what I've tried so far without success:

    The switch

    -created the vlan 30

    -added switchports fa0/1 to 30 of vlan

    -attached host 192.168.100.1 in fa0/1

    -added switchport fa0/24 to the vlan 1 and vlan 30 with multimode

    -interface PIX DMZ connected to fa0/24 switchport

    -attached host to switchport fa0/10 172.16.1.55 (vlan 1)

    PIX:

    -192.168.100.1 cannot ping the PIX to the 192.168.100.254 or anything else besides.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, I realize that I could buy a four port NIC and use the physical interfaces, but I can't get the approved purchase.

    Creation of VLANS on Ethernet1

    We want to create a new interface VLAN - VLAN30 and name DMZ2. Also affect the security level 50 in it.

    Step 1: Create a physical Interface:

    PIX (config) # interface ethernet1 vlan2 physical

    Step 2: Name the Interface and set the security level:

    PIX (config) # nameif ethernet1 inside the security100

    Step 3: Assign the IP address of the interface:

    PIX (config) # ip inside 192.168.1.1 address 255.255.255.0

    Step 4: Create the logical Interface:

    PIX (config) # interface ethernet1 vlan30 logical

    Step 5: Name of the Interface and set the security level:

    PIX (config) # nameif vlan30 DMZ2 security50

    Step 6: Assign IP address to the interface:

    IP pix (config) # DMZ2 192.168.100.254 255.255.255.0

    Step 7. Switch, set the port where from the inside, to the Isls or dot1q physical interface. Place the sheath in the native vlan2 as in step 1.

  • Easy way to export and restore the virtual network editor in 10 workstation

    I'm looking for an easy way back up and restore my settings of the virtual network Editor. I use Workstation 10.0.3 on Windows 7 64 bit and have several networks configured on different host machines. After Googling for the problem, I found the following:

    -on a Linux host, the settings are stored in/etc/vmware/networking. However, I am not able to find the file in Windows. Source: http://serverfault.com/questions/535193/vmware-workstation-how-to-automate-or-script-changes-to-the-virtual-network-co

    -on a Windows host, all parameters could be saved through export of certain keys in the registry. But these keys are at least partially unique on each host, and it would be a real pain to get the keys on each host individually. Source: Re: VMware WS configuration backup

    -vnetlib control should support a statement "-export" which creates a text file containing the necessary information. However if I try to run the command, as described in the link, no file is created on my machine. The command must be ' start/wait vnetlib.exe - export path_to_file' (I am running this command of in the workplace, of course installation directory). I also tried "vnetlib" - path_to_file to export, but that did not help either. I know that vnetlib works because I reinstalled successfully the vmx86 with vnetlib service - install. If also tried the vnetlib64.exe, but no luck. Source: Re: virtual network editor

    So is - someone of you knows how to solve my problem? I'm looking for a way to write a simple batch script that exports the settings without having to deal with the registry. My virtual network Editor loses its configuration from time to time and I don't want to set up everything by hand again.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Export the virtual network settings

    I would like to request a feature to be able to export 'Virtual Network Settings' from my computer.

    Whenever I have install or re-install VMWare Workstation on a computer, I have to reconfigure my virtual network settings manually to match the configuration of static IP address I set up on my guest VMs.

    However, if I was able to just export the virtual network settings (and then import these settings into a new installation), I would be able to save time of configuration on each of my computers/workstations and thus avoid manual effort either myself or to inform my colleagues on how to configure their virtual network settings to take in charge the VMS the comments.

    Thank you.

    Run the command with cmd - a started with "run as Administrator"?
    Did you change directory in the installation directory WS first?
    The command runs without any messages.
    The output should be a 8 k file - just tested again on Win7 - 64 running WS 10.0.2

  • Network/DNS/DHCP issues with testlab - virtual network Editor is killing me!

    Hey all - a little new with workstation and have been messing around trying to get this to work for so long, I want to just set up my lab already but can't find the catch here.

    So, here is what I tried to do:

    Have a hand of Windows Server 2008 R2 (Controller/DHCP/DNS/Active Directory domain / IIS) addresses/leases DHCP of an internal network (which means, I want some Windows 7 Ultimate customers to assign IPs to the DC and NOT of VMWare offers integrated DHCP). I want clients to be able to use only one NIC (preferably) and both authenticate to AD and connect to the Internet (so I think I'll pass on DNS to resolve external domains?). I'm having a pretty hard time trying to understand what...

    My physical network is an active router Linksys with DHCP, so them to assign an IP address to the PC that I'm looking for this laboratory-perhaps it is a problem as well and must also be configured or have my VMNet reflecting?

    I tried to use NAT, a bridge connection, etc... and even then, when I got my DC with an active internet connection, how would I configure my clients (Win7 devices) to join the network even on my domain controller is? I tried some configurations in these forums as well, but none seems to for what I'm trying (which seems very simple!). Can anyone offer some advice? I am not opposed to the fresh start. Thanks for taking a peek.

    Here is an example of configuration when all the virtual machines are configured for NAT.

    Virtual network Editor:

    DHCP disabled for NAT

    For an example, I assume that the NAT subnet in 192.168. 100. x. You can change this if you wish.

    DC:

    IP address: 192.168.100.10

    Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

    Gateway: 192.168.100.2

    DNS server: 127.0.0.1

    Configuration of the DHCP server:

    Range: 192.168.100.150... 200

    Subnet: 255.255.255.0

    Gateway: 192.168.100.2

    DNS server: 192.168.100.10

    The DNS server configuration:

    DNS forwarding to: 192.168.100.2 (for other than the own domain URLS)

    Other servers or systems with static IP settings:

    IP address: 192.168.100.11... 149

    Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

    Gateway: 192.168.100.2

    DNS server: 192.168.100.10

    Customer:

    Networking will be set to automatic.

    In this way, the domain controller will be the only DHCP and DNS server, but each virtual computer will be able to access directly to the Internet. And because the domain controller is the primary DNS, your ad cannot function properly.

  • Are virtual network Interfaces, vSwitches?

    Hi all

    I read the following document http://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/dmz_virtualization_vmware_infra_wp.PDF

    And on page 7, where it says 'Set Layer 2 Security Options on virtual switches.
    Protection against attacks such as data snooping, sniffing and MAC spoofing by disabling the promiscuous mode, change MAC address and forged the capacity of transmissions on the virtual network interfaces. »

    How to interpret virtual network interfaces? Those are the vSwitches or group of ports VM?

    Thanks for your help,

    Those that are not the default values.  Change of MAC address: Rject and forged passes: rejection would be the default values.

    But before you change them - they don't automatically indicate a security problem - you need to know why they changed first.

  • Virtual network cards only 100mbs - how to speed up?

    I have a 1 GB physical NETWORK card on my Windows 7 64 bit host. However, virtual network that are installed by 9 workstation cards show that they run at only 100 mbs. Is it possible to run all of the 1 GB instead of 100mbs? I can't find where that is controlled and network cards virtual is not a speed setting that I can find. I wish I had all of the Go go all the way through the virtual hosts (all Windows versions).

    You can change which virtualized NIC is presented to the guest.  Edit the .vmx of the guest and add/edit the following line configuration file:

    If you want an emulated Intel adapter (I think this Signals as a 1 GB link speed):

    ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000".

    ... Or if you want emulated vmxnet3 adapter (I think this Signals as a 10 GB link speed):

    ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3.

  • 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.
