• 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".

• Network Configuration problem

  Hello:

  Since last week, when I click on an icon, for example, the Page Home/Windows 7 does not come on the screen.  Instead, warning to appear at the top of the screen saying... Problem with Internet connection or Network Configuration problem.  After 5 minutes, or later, however, the screen came, but it is very slow to open web pages.

  This problem occurs most often during the night, however for the last two days, sometimes also during the day.

  Until this problem started out of blue, wireless connection with Comcast was very smooth-ride,... instantamously the homepage of popping up.

  Hints on this would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  This sounds like a problem with your Comcast service. In the United Kingdom, I would suggest that you run a speed test on your connection speed. You can get no doubt do the same wherever you are. While it could be the quality of your line, the calendar offers it's the volume of traffic from when children arrive home from school until they go to bed.

  You could compare notes with other Comcast customers.

  Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

• VMware Workstation, Windows 7 + Huawei (high-speed Mobile) = problems!

  Hello!

  I bought this laptop with Intel Core i7, Intel chipset and Win7 processor.

  If I install the Huawei (E220, E1750, E1550) device in your PC with Vmware Workstation they all work very well.

  After installing Wmvare Workstation these problems come from:

  1. the computer detects the device and the drivers on the cd player emulated the unit and install.

  2. the computer, unplug the and then finds the unit and looking for drivers (never find anything, but still to try to find for hours). Now, the computer won't let you reboot/shutdown. (Only by pressing the powerbutton will stop it)

  Restarting the computer restarts 2 allover.

  Uninstall all the drivers again 1, then 2.

  Uninstalling Vmware och disabling usb vmware service does not solve the problem.

  System rescue using the computer justlike it was before installing Vmware Workstation unity functioning well again.

  But after the relocation of Wmware Workstation problems are back.

  I have updated bios, drivers for usb (even tried the General usb driver) without success... The device worked under an emulated xp computer, however when I tried it. Please help me.   Jonny!

  do you need a USB support for your virtual machines?

  You might want to uninstall the USB services using VMware and then install the Huawei device?

• VMware Workstation 7.1.2 - Linux networking questions

  I am on Windows 7 and I have a Ubuntu 10.10 I can't accept an IP address. I don't know if my question is Ubuntu configurations or VMware. I have a NETWORK adapter that is set to Custom (VMnet7) which I configured with DHCP. My goal was to implement a custom network (VMnet7) so that they can communicate without an external connection. I added Windows clients and receive DHCP addresses without problem. When I add my Ubuntu box, he does not get the IP address. I have the set eth0

  Auto eth0

  iface eth0 inet dhcp

  When I restart the network interface, he seeks an IP address by sending a DHCP request to 255.255.255.255, but never received an answer from, and finally abandoned. This machine has been downloaded from another system and pulled upwards. Any suggestions on the place where to proceed to diagnose the problem?

  I have a NETWORK adapter that is set to Custom (VMnet7) which I configured with DHCP. My goal was to implement a custom network (VMnet7) so that they can communicate without an external connection.

  FWIW VMware Desktop products already have defined VMnet1 for host only then why the need to create a host only VMnet7?

  Make sure that the client's network card is verified connected.

  What Linux Distro do you use?

  If the suggestion of sflanders does not then archive and attach the vmware.log for this virtual machine files and join a response message.

• Windows 7: VMWare Workstation with XP as a guest.  Problem with SP2.

  On a computer with XP virtual on, I am trying to run SP2.  SP2 is in a file to the host.  SP2 is not XP and trying to change Windows 7.  It fails.  I do not want to load the workstation tools up to what XP SP2.  Maybe I missed something in the manual (excellent!). Solution?

  Without VMware tools, the easiest way would be to create an ISO image that contains SP2 (or better SP3) and transfer this as a CD-ROM drive to the XP VM.

• Qosmio F50 - 125 Local network sharing problem

  Hello

  Recently I installed windows 7 and downloaded all the necessary drivers for my computer toshiba laptop. The problem is that I can't access the computers in my home network and others cannot see my computer. I am connected to the network with a cable and a Wi - Fi connection, but often the wireless is down while the cable connect to the internet. Over the radio, there is no problem - sharing works properly, but the cable only the above mentioned problem is changing. On "View full map", I don't see that with my computer, a BIG QUESTION MARK, and the internet. I installed the LAN Driver, but there is no difference.

  I would be grateful if you can help me with this problem.
  Thank you in advance.

  Seems that you have found the solution yourself ;)

• VLAN again added, problems detected on guests during the detection of new network configuration

  Hi all

  I started facing a strange problem trying to use a new VLAN configured in my vCenter environment...

  Basically, my system 'fight' to identify the new network label (VLAN) configured, leaving systems disconnected from the local network.

  This condition disappears only when I change the VM touched, assign a label of different network (VLAN), apply the changes and restart the process by configuring the new VLAN return.

  We will use an example to explain better:

  • I have a named Windows Server/Workstation VM: VM1
  • I have 2 VLANS configured in vCenter: VLAN50 and VLAN70

  VM1 is sitting on the VLAN50 and has the static IP address configured.

  I start the migration of the machine to a VLAN different, by editing the network settings of the operating system (IP, MASK, GW, DNS entries...) and replace the label of VM1 VLAN70 network.

  At this point, the machine NIC shows as if it could not connect to what in the network, although it is configured accordingly in order to communicate in the new subnet.

  I have change the VM again and change the label of a network VLAN different from VLAN70, click OK. Immediately, I change VM settings to assign in return the VLAN70.

  After that, the operating system recognizes the network successfully and starts working as expected...

  All of my virtual machines use VMXNET3 adapter and my version of vCenter is v5.5 build #2646482

  No idea what might happen?

  Concerning

  We found the problem...

  It was not associated with VMware, but a network configuration problem: (ESXi connected to two switches, one of them with the VLAN configured correctly and the other does not...).

  Thanks for the help

• 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].

• 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:

  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.)

• Workstation 10, VM Android no network

  someone was lucky to the provision of the network for an android x 86 virtual machine on VMware Workstation?  I edited the network settings according to various online tutorials and now network setting seems to be OK and I can ping to ip addresses even after setting the dns of google dns I can ping web addresses of the terminal, but since the android interface, I can not connect, the only options of connection is via wifi or mobile network , so I can not recognize the network! everything under the hood is functional and right! why it can't recognize the network?

  Well, since no body here has given me no help, I had to fix myself, I followed this tutorial, I found via google and it worked fine, I don't know if I'm allowed to post links or not, but carried away, I'm really sorry!

• Dreamweaver won't save site local/network settings

  MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.2

  Dreamweaver CS6 version 12 build 5808

  1st site definition: I want to test files locally, then 'put' on my test server.

  2 definition of the site: I want to take the file from my local folder and "put" it on my production server.

  I set up the 2drives on the Mac... my test server and my live server.  Readers were mounted on different mount points so that they do not overwrite each other.

  I go in Dreamweaver and select "manage sites". I go to my local folder for the first screen... the next wants to screen (Server tab) the path to the test server.  I have on the correct server (verified!) and click on "choose".  The path indicated in the box in the "Server" active tab is correct... BUT when I click on 'save', CHANGES in path to my production server.

  Absolutely, it will NOT save the information that I've specified.  I connect to my server via local/network.

  I renamed dreamweaver Pref files and deleted the contents of the cache site...

  Nearly an hour on the phone with Adobe, as well as the tech told me that they were not trained to help with local/network configurations.  What is interesting is the fact that when I navigate on my test server to "manage sites", I can see my files, expand my folders, etc.  It is not a question-Dreamweaver just will not save the information that I enter the permissions.

  Would appreciate any help I can get on that...

  Nancy, I appreciate your time, but it looks like we have found something that will work for us...

  OS X doesn't seem to know what to do with mounted drives, if they have the same name.  For example:

  IP: 192.xxx.xxx.22\MyServer

  and

  IP: 192.xxx.xxx.23\MyServer

  When they are mounted, even with different IP addys and different mount points, OS X only 'sees' the share name and seems not to take into account the mapping on the part of Awesome!

  Re-appointing one of the network shares was NOT an option and the option Alias on OS X help not at all... OS X sees that the name of sharing, even when the Alias is well... renamed as an alias... go figure!

  Since we were unable to find a way to solve this problem of OS X, we ended up creating a second network share for the target folder, using a different name.  Problem solved.

• Connected to the local network, but can not use internet

  I recently had problems with access to the internet after reinstalling windows 7. Before the reinstall worked very well.

  I can connect to the local network without problem, and it shows that the internet is connected. Yet I can not access the internet. When I disconnect and reconnect, I get a few seconds of internet work before it stops working.

  When a diagnosis in the network and sharing Center, I get the error "default gateway is not available" and occasionally "the connection between your access point, etc. and internet is broken"

  Other computers and devices using the network are working properly, although there was a 'competitor IP address' error on another pc, which, after a reconnection, solved itself.

  I use an edimax 802.11n wireless card and a D-link router

  I tried several things to make it work again, but without result. Any help would be greatly appreciated

  disable TCP/IPv6 had no effect.

  I think I can have fixed me, I installed the driver microsoft before the reinstall instead of the driver edimax and internet suddenly started working.

• How to run VMWARE Workstation 7.1.2 securely on Windows 7?

  Hello

  I downloaded a trial version of vmware workstation 7.1.2 to check, if I could use it to keep a proven windows 2000 on a windows host environment 7.

  When I run a virtual machine, the system tells me, that the "VmWare authorization Service" does not work. When I try to start from the list of services of the Task Manager, I get the error code_6000004.

  On a forum German vmware, I found the advice to disable windows security feature 7 UAC completely. But that has not yet solved the problem I've tried with a non-administrative user account.

  Finally it works, but only in a dangerous way:

  So far, I only managed to run VMWARE 7.1.2 on Windows 7, if I disable UAC AND log in as administrator. Which would be Ok for experiment from time to time, but do not regularly the computer as is - for good reason - not recommended by windows.

  Can someone please give me some adivce on my questions:

  How can I use VMWare Workstation on a host of Windows 7 with an non-administratif account?

  Better would be, how can I use VMWare Workstation as a standard user AND you have UAC on a recommended security level?

  Is disabling the functions of central security in fact the adivce official to run VmWare on a host of Windows 7?

  I know, Windows 7 is quite new and a lot of software has not properly adapted to him so far, but in the meantime, it is still not easy to find an older host OS to be able to correctly use VMWare (on Windows 2000 as a host, it worked great and I do not want to give it up so easy)

  Kind regards

  I just removed the XML that has been added automatically

  I used Vmware Workstation 7.x for Windows 7 without problems so far. I installed the package as an administrator, of course, but then used the user to create and manage virtual machines. I have UAC in default mode and does not get a prompt either do anything.

  The option "Run as Administrator" is just to load an application with administrator credentials already loading in the token to access at the outset and you will get a prompt later, but there should be no difference here.

• How to configure the network adapter when you run ESXi on VmWare workstation?

  How to configure the network card installing ESXi on VmWare workstation 6.0.0?

  These are the options: I tried bridged, host-only NAP.  None of them works

  

  What Miss me? driver or adapater?

  I'm running on vmware workstation on Windows 7 with Lenovo laptop.

  in the configuration of your virtual machine, the main issue is memory. you gave the 2 GB of RAM, whereas ESXi 6 cannot go forward without minimum 4 GB of RAM.

  If please have 4 GB of RAM and re-run Setup. you will get through.

  message about the network card should also not appear after that. What kind of network you choose depends on your need.
