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.

    Hey John,

    If you want to network from the Windows VM to your Macbook Pro with the PC you have, you must set the network card of the VM in bridged mode.  You can do this by going to settings > network. This will allow networking between your virtual machine and the PC.

  • Major problems with VMWare Fusion 3.1.1

    I just installed the new version of VMWare Fusion 3.1.1 on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.5.8). What a DISASTER! When I allowed him to install the new version of VMWare Tools, it came with a series of warnings that various drivers (mouse, VMXNet, SVGA, etc.) could not be installed. After the required reboot, the PC (Windows XP) came about a 3 "X 4" format (minimum screen resolution) and it will connect is no longer on the network. I got my old version of VMWare (v3.1.0) of my Time Machine drive, but the 3.1.1 installation process has apparently changed other things deep in the bowels of the Mac OS and the v3.1.0 recovered would not go. Is there anywhere on the web that I can download a copy of the from VMWare Fusion 3.1.0 .dmg file so that I can use it to try to get back to where I started (my original drive has only version 3.0)? If someone has means of ideas let me know.

    You can download the versions up to published on VMWare support site: VMWare Fusion downloads. Click the link view history under downloads to view previous versions.

    Before running the installation, follow these steps:

    (1) start your virtual machine and remove tools from VMWare using Add / Remove programs.

    (2) to the VMWare Fusion 3.1.1 DMG run the program uninstall to remove VMWare Fusion. This will NOT delete your virtual machines.

    (3) restart your machine.

    (4) install VMWare Fusion 3.1.0

    (5) start your virtual machine and install the VMWare tools.

  • 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

  • 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,.

    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.

  • Creating a virtual network in VMware Fusion 4?

    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 .

  • How to set preferences for the network folder in VMWare Fusion

    I use VMWare Fusion to run a virtual PC on my Mac which I use QuickBooks to MUCH for my business. I'm trying to get the Writer of Intuit, a complementary product to work, QuickBooks statement but there need me to change the security settings on the "network drive" my files are on. Here's what he said I should do:

    "If you choose a network folder for a default save location, the system

    administrator must make some specific changes on the network and address

    some questions of local security. To open the QMD files over a network, the

    administrator must grant full trust to any executable code or to

    all Microsoft Office documents in the folder where the file qsm

    stored. Either the type of access requires a change in the code access

    security strategy for .NET framework on the computer. The

    administrator must ensure that these changes are compatible with any

    other local security policies. For more information, see Networking SIE

    and multiple users. »

    Help! How can I do this?

    Thank you

    Dawn

    I don't use QuickBooks but Google search for EIS networking and multiple users hit Albums is support QuickBooks - statement of Intuit writer (SIE) network and multi-user functionality and he said: 'because we do not recommend this, the files must be local when you work with them. It is necessary to copy the file IF you want to work with on your local disk, and when the finished work with the file, copy it to the server. "so this means to copy the file in the folder shared VMware on the Windows filesystem, as an example the office that you use also the feature and then mirrored folders when it copy in the shared folder of VMware.

    If you don't want to do that, then it seems that the major changes that need to be taken are on the side of Windows and not really a matter of VMware Fusion in itself however in the perspective of VMware Fusion, VMware shared folder should be set to read & write and is the only permissions that VMware Fusion has no control on in this regard.  Another aspect of the permissions would be on OS X and the permissions on the folder as a shared folder on VMware normally, only the owner has read & write permissions and other default permissions for reading only.  You may also need to change the permissions to read & write however what I read after looking at a few other answers the main objective research to resolve that matter Windows itself using the .NET Framework Configuration tool.

    So I really do not see this as a matter of VMware Fusion and see it in the totally as an issue security policy mainly on Windows, although the other mentioned permissions must be at least check and then only modified if necessary after that making the necessary changes on Windows is not sufficient even though as long as the folder shared VMware is set read/write & I think the rest this is totally of the Windows side.

    I've been running VMWare Fusion 6 on my MacBook Pro with the Mavericks for quite awhile.  I just got a Mac Mini with Yosemite and I want to copy one of my virtual machines of the MBP to the Mini.

    I tried to just copy the vmware.vm of the MBP to the Mini but when I open it and try to start it I get the following errors:

    • Unable to open/dev/vmmon: no such file or directory.

    Please ensure that the "vmmon" kernel module is loaded.

    • Could not initialize the surveillance apparatus.
    • Internal error

    I also tried to import the vmware.wm file, but it is always grayed out.

    How can I copy a virtual machine from one Mac to another?

    Hi atj777,

    Are you absolutely certain that this is Fusion 6.0.5, you're there?  Fusion 6.0.4 and earlier would fail on Yosemite the way you describe.  There are many other possible causes of the same error message, but it would be the first thing I would check a second time.  (My apologies if you have already verified!)

    What version of Yosemite are you running?  10.10.2?

    It can also be useful to restart your Mac to see if that helps... sometimes he does.

    To answer your question directly: simply copy the ".vmwarevm" package on the whole should be enough.  The message you see is a generic merge error and has nothing to do with the copy process.

    See you soon,.
