• VMware Fusion keeps resetting my network file

  I'm trying to set up a Windows Server VM and allow access to external computers through RDP/DRC. To enable port forwarding, I added the following text to the end of my "/ Library/Preferences/VMWare Fusion/network" file (addresses changed because I'm paranoid that way):

  [incomingtcp]

  # Port forwarding for incoming RDP requests

  3389 = 172.16.252.10:3389

  [incomingudp]

  # Port forwarding for incoming RDP requests

  3389 = 172.16.252.10:3389

  The problem is that every time I restart VMWare Fusion, my network file returns to its previous state, and my updated the file is stored in networking.bak.0.

  Am I missing something here?

  If it helps: I'm under VMWaare Fusion 7.1.2. Network of my VM is set to NAT (alias "share with my MAC"). My virtual computer is configured with a static IP, the same, I added in the network file. I tested DRC between host and the VM and it works fine, I just need to enable access by other computers on the same network.

  Thanks in advance to anyone reading and/or responding to this.

  I know it's lame to answer my own question, but I just realized what was wrong. Apparently, I got some wrong information about the Internet, and I should have added the text in the file nat.conf instead of the network file.

• Can I run Snow Leopard with the latest version of VMware Fusion on a MacBook Pro for mid-2012?

  I have a Snow Leopard install disc (version 10.6.3), but my MacBook Pro for mid-2012 allow me to install it.  Is this possible using the latest version of VMware Fusion?

  If it is a commercial version of Mac OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard Server not Client, then Yes.

• Access to the web server that is running in VMWare Fusion (Windows 7)

  Hello:

  I have an old asp application running on the Windows IIS7 server running in VMWare Fusion on my Macbook. It works very well if access http://localhost side windows in Fusion.  How do you get it from other computers on the network? I usually not done anything with access to the network on the windows side. I tried to use the same IP Mac address is visible, which is 192.168.0.xxx, that does not work. On the Windows operating system side it has the IP address 192.168.216.xxx, I think it's just a fake to connect with the Macbook side of things.

  What URL to use? VMWare Fusion additional requirements?

  Thank you!

  If you value Network Adapter to the Virtual Machine Bridged then use either DHCP or assign a proper IP address provision that is beyond the scope of the address Pool IP DHCP from the router to the network card in the Windows Virtual Machine, you can reach then the virtual machine just like any other physical local network Machine by using its IP address example: http://192.168.0.10

  If you cannot use Bridged so you use NAT with Port Forwarding.  To enable Port Forwarding on VMnet8, change you the [incomingtcp] section in Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/vmnet8/nat.conf by the example shown in the config file.  Do it with the stop the Virtual Machine, not suspended, and VMware Fusion closed.

• VMWare Fusion for Mac - how much space HARD drive is my virtual machine taking?

  So, I am running VMWare Fusion on my MacBook Air, and I'm under low HARD disk space.  My Mac storage utility tells me that I have a ton of capacity used in the 'Other' bucket.  According to me, this bucket is where live VMWare Fusion.  As I understand it, technically, my complete operating system of Windows (including all files) is contained in a single file on the Mac side.  Is this correct?  Is it possible to see what capacity takes up my whole Windows Operating System (Virtual Machine)?  I hope this makes sense.  Thanks in advance for your comments!

  No, it's not correct!  A Virtual Machine is composed of many files and folders according to how it configured and used.  On a Mac if created natively by VMware Fusion using values by default so all the files that make up a virtual machine are in all of the Virtual Machine that is structurally nothing more then a regular folder except the extension .vmwarevm, it is treated differently by the launch in OS X Services.  Take a look on: work with Virtual Machine packages

  The files that make up the Virtual Machines from Windows/Linux systems and other places my being in simple ordinary folders.

  Is it possible to see what capacity takes up my whole Windows Operating System (Virtual Machine)?

  You can also see statistics for a given Virtual Machine by selecting Virtual Machine in the library because it displays size information, as well as on the General form of a virtual machine; s parameters.  Or look in the Finder and see the release of Get Info for the packaging of the Virtual Machine or the folder that contains the files that make up the Virtual Machine.

• VLAN in VMWare Fusion

  Hello

  I'll put up a lab using Fusion on my Mac environment, but I noticed that there are no of VLAN or option to connect computers isolate to be only interconnected virtual (isolated network).

  I missed the option, it is an add-on or how can I achieve this?

  VMware Fusion provide three default to choose, bridged, NAT and host-only virtual networks and the latter allows to completely isolate the host virtual network only by downing host VMnet1 virtual network adapter and this can be done from a Terminal by using the ifconfig command.

  sudo ifconfig vmnet1 down
  

  In addition VMware provides not a GUI in VMware Fusion to add additional networks or change the default existing however, you should be able to glean what needs to be done by having a look at my answer to: Re: creation of two (or more) Host-Only totally isolated networks

• Risk of a Windows XP Professional.vmwarevm vmware fusion on a shared disk storage

  I am running VMware fusion on a MacBook Pro.  I have an image of Windows XP SP3.

  What are the risks of store this image on a shared drive or a shared backup device (for example, Apple Time Capsule)?

  Can someone ' find one/view the files stored in the Image of XP?

  Are there other risks of privacy / security?

  Thank you

  All the XP files in multiple files .vdmk in the bundle can be easily consulted are

  Eric has already answered the second part of your question so I'll answer the first part.  While they are not as easily seen as just see hard files exist, as to see in the Finder for example, nevertheless he who has access can also, with the right tools, see the contents of files hard otherwise encrypted.  In other words, hard files can be mounted with a ctrl-click > open with... > VMDKMounter.  There are other programs that can open and view the content without a ride just like opening a .zip file in BetterZip.

  Most is, with the exception being encrypted and one without knowing the password, then anyone who has knowledge and access can see what they want.

  Which bring back me to my original statement: "the risks are the same as with all other files/folders, you choose to store here where.

• StarCraft 2 (Mac) crashes to VMWare Fusion

  I used VMWare Fusion on my MacBook pro with no problems for about a year. Recently I bought Starcraft 2 and after playing, my VMWare Fusion client (running with BootCamp volume, not a virtual disk) crashes with this error: "a serious error has occurred within your computer's OpenGL graphics drivers.

  Then he mentions that 3D acceleration will be switched off in VMWare.

  There is a button, but no matter how many times you press it, error dialog box pops up again, effectively making me lose all my data on Windows applications.

  Should I file a bug report? Don't know where to do it.

  INFO:

  VMWare version: 3.1.0

  Hardware: MacBook Pro Unibody 15 "

  Mac OS 10.6.4

  Running on VMWare: Windows XP

  For now I'll disable 3D acceleration in VMWare.

  Hello

  I think you hit an OS x 10.6.4 problem.

  See also: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1024814

  Is not exactly the same ratio, but there many similarities and you don't seem to operate 10.6.4 already... so I think you need to wait that apple sets. I'm waiting on a fix for this before I go to 10.6.4 myself.

  Hope this helps,

• How to copy of VMware Workstation 6.5.2 VMS in VMware Fusion?

  Hello!

  Sorry if this is a FAQ, but after a search, I couldn't find an answer.

  I am to evaluate VMware Fusion on my MacBook Pro.

  I started a live Linux CD is inside VMware Fusion, to confirm that my installation of merger works perfectly.

  However, now I need to copy some VM I made on VMware Workstation 6.5.2, to VMware Fusion.

  What is the best way to do it?

  I copied the directories for the virtual machine.  In Fusion, I tried to open the *.vmdk files directly, but they are not accepted as a valid file type.

  The operating system of the host VMware Workstation's kernel version 2.6.29, 64-bit Linux.

  The operating system of the host VMware Fusion is Mac OS 10.5.6.

  The BONES of the guests are varied.  I have a Windows XP virtual machine, a Linux virtual 32-bit and a 64-bit virtual machine Linux.

  What is the best way to copy of VMware Workstation, VMware Fusion?

  VMware Converter seems to be the best route to follow, but it seems destined only to installations of Windows, and it is also oriented towards P2V, do not copy an existing VM.

  Thank you!

  Josh

  Stop the virtual machines and close the workstation.

  A copy of the entire folders to your Mac.

  Perform the merge.  Open an existing virtual machine... Navigate to the vmx file.  You may need to edit the file to change the names of specific OS devices and/or file/PropertyPath, syntax.

  I don't think I need to download the ISO Image of the DVD for you help with this problem...

  I saw two things wrong in the .vmx config file...

  guestOS = "redhat".

  Should be...

  guestOS = "rhel6-64.

  And you miss...

  ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000".

  The devops-rhel7 - 01.vmx.zip attachment has already been published for your convenience.

  As you can see with these changes, mainly the ethernet0.virtualDev, I was able to get an IP address from my router as shown in the picture below.

• VMWare Fusion 6.0.2 with Windows 8 - no found network adapter

  Hello

  I recently installed VMware Fusion 6 Professional edition on my Macbook Pro running 10.9 Maverick.  Then, I installed Windows XP and then immediately upgraded to Windows 8.0.  When I tried to access the Internet using Windows 8, I can't.  I received the message "no connection is available.  How do I fix this?  I have no problems when you access the internet from the host operating system.  I have found several articles in the Knowledge Base for the different configurations and tried a few steps, but still no resolution.

  
  

  1. Restarted Windows 8 and restarted Maverick
  2. Diagnostics ran Windows 8, which gave rise to: "Windows did not detect a network card is installed correctly.  If you have a network card, you will need to re - install the driver. »
  3. Firewall Windows - turns off network settings private and Public
  4. Tried to change map of network VMware between NAT and bridged (Autodetect and Wi - Fi).
  • I noticed something on the modification of the file .vmx but you have not yet tried this step.
  • I found an article saying merger allowed 5 type VM OS update by going to 'Settings' and select 'Général', but I can't find this option in Fusion 6 Pro.

  I looked for an article about my particular setup, but found nothing.  If someone can help to provide a useful link to an article for my setup or is aware of how to solve this problem... I would be very happy!

  I would never do an in place upgrade of Windows XP to Windows 8 on a Virtual Machine!  Instead I create a Virtual Machine from Windows 8 and install directly Windows 8 by using the upgrade of media!   Take a look at: Clean install Windows 8 with upgrade media

  If you don't want to do just like first of all, I suggest and want to fix the Windows XP upgraded the Virtual Machine, do the following in the parameters of the Virtual Machine.

  Under system settings > General, change NAME and OS Windows 8.

  Under removable devices > NIC > advanced options, click on remove the network card.

  Click the device to add... and select the network card, and then click Add.

  This should fix the gaps between the default Windows XP network card settings and the settings of the network adapter in Windows 8.

• VMWare Fusion 8.1 fall on a virtual computer network connection

  I upgraded from VMWare Fusion 7.1.2 to VMWare Fusion 8.1 and also updated my Vagrant VMWare Fusion plugin to the latest version. I can successfully be able to launch my VM CoreOS who runs docker successfully containers, but the network is disconnected whenever I try to navigate to a Web site running in a container of docker. We use a container Nginx as a load balancer, and whenever a local site on the virtual machine is visited from our host, the entire VM falls its network.

  I looked in various configurations for our Vagrantfile, but in the end, the issue still persisted. I can't seem to find problems in double of this problem on the forums or google and I ideas on what is the problem. Is there a way someone could help solve the problems with me?

  Found a work around with your question! Workaround for the problem in the Blogs of VMware Fusion 8.1 - VMware Fusion Blog - NAT port forwarding

• Bridged Networking crushed Vmware Fusion 6.0.4 - replicable

  I use the version of 30 trial of VMWare Fusion 6.0.4.  I can't sign up and download a .zip file officially, because I have to register the product first, and it won't let me register the serial number of the trial.  I won't pay until I am sure that it works for my use case.  So I have to resort to these forums.  Here's my reproducible bug:

  I'm running a Windows 7 VM.  I used the import function to import this machine virtual of Parallels Desktop version 9.  It starts and works fine as long as I'm using NAT networking (shared with the host).  As soon as I switch to Bridged networking, it starts and runs for about 15 to 30 seconds, then crashes.

  I used "Information Support" to create a zip of debugging information file and he have attached to this post.  Help!  I need to use Bridged networking.

  Hi petec35_2!

  It seems that your guest uses frames (or Jumbo Packet), and which is currently to trigger this problem in Fusion.

  To work around the problem: in the guest Device Manager, find the E1000/E1000e NIC, then a parameter in its property page should allow you to disable the Jumbo Frames/Jumbo Packet.

  See you soon,.

• MacBook Pro + Thunderbolt display vs VMWare Fusion

  Configuration:

  -New MacBook Pro

  -New Thunderbolt display

  -Keyboard and mouse plugged into the USB ports on Thunderbolt display

  -VMWare Fusion 4.0.2 running a Ubuntu 10.04 VM

  If I turned the laptop without the screen plugged and then plug into the screen, the keyboard and the mouse (connected on the screen) do not respond. I need to unplug the display and plug it in again, and then, usually, the devices will work. I'm going back with Apple support, and he got up to what they wanted me to ship everything back - they have not seen this before.

  I then had a hunch that merger (which is still running) may cause a problem. Of course - if I stop or suspend my VM before connecting the screen, everything works fine. So I strongly suspect a bug in Fusion.

  Anyone else seeing this?

  Jack Orenstein

  VMware Fusion 4.1 addresses a compatibility issue with the USB devices connected via a Thunderbolt display. You will be prompted to auto-update the next time you restart VMware Fusion (or manually check the updates).

• Creating a virtual network in VMware Fusion 4?

  Hey,.

  I did a lot of navigation but can't seem to find a guide step by step to create a virtual network VMware Fusion 4. I have 2 OSX Lion virtual computers created and wants to make them talk to each other (preferably in their own environment), but there is no easy way to do so in the merger, the difference with VMware Workstation, unfortunately. If anyone knows of a post I may have missed or a simple guide for this, I would be very grateful.

  I would also like to make the suggestion that the functionality to what is included in VMware Workstation inccluded molten in a next update/version if possible . I see a lot of requests for this, and I think it would really improve the product. You might even have a records system as in 8 work stations and keep the feel of iTunes!

  Thanks in advance.

  Pete

  There are similarities in the way that Workstation and Fusion are used - to answer your question, see the Documentation centre of vSphere -http://pubs.vmware.com/fusion-4/index.jsp - and research networks
