After the comments, here's what you need to do:Ĭonfigure your (Windows) host machine to "obtain IP address automatically" on the VMnet8 adapter. If they're not, you'll need to manually give VMnet8 a subnet using the Virtual Network Editor in VMware.
VMWARE FUSION 8.5 NOT CONNECTING TO NETWORK WINDOWS
Tip: since you're going to assign a static IP to your guest, make sure that the "NAT network" in VMplayer on all of your Windows hosts are using the subnet 172.241.0.0/16, because I think VMware randomly assigns a subnet to its virtual networks (VMnet1, 2, and so on), so VMnet8 might not be using the same subnet on another Windows host. Though of course, to be able to deploy this in your workshop, you'll need to edit the hosts file in every single Windows host, unless you're also cloning the Windows machines. Once this is done, you should be able to ping Workshop successfully from your Windows host. But anyways, here's the line you need to add: 172.241.0.101 Workshop txt extension if it got one, and go back and replace the original one, and "confirm" it.oh how I love Linux. To edit that file under Windows however, you need to open it as an administrator in Notepad or Wordpad.and sometimes it doesn't even let you save it, so you'll need to take a copy of the file somewhere, edit it, remove the. Edit that file to include the following line in the end: You need to add an entry in the hosts file in Windows, which is located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts. To be able to ping the guest VM using its hostname Workshop, here's what you can do. Use that IP in your static configuration. This should show you the default gateway it's using. change it to iface eth0 inet dhcp like you had it before), and then do route -n. What you can do is let the VM get an IP through DHCP (i.e. If it doesn't work (highly unlikely), then you need to find out what the IP of the virtual switch is. So try it out and let me know if it works. This should grant your guest VM access to the internet (through 172.241.0.2), and also communicate with your host ( 172.241.0.100). So in your case, your /etc/network/interfaces should read: auto eth0 (The host VMnet8 adapter is merely another device connected to the network, to allow the host to communicate with the VM.) This virtual switch we're talking about gets the. The default gateway, when using NAT, is not the IP of the host, it's the IP of a "virtual switch" that's connected to the NAT network. You got part of the configuration right, however, your problem should be in the default gateway that you assigned to the guest. Your solutions and other advice will be much appreciated.įirst of all, yes, you won't be able to use a bridged network connection because all of the guests will have the same hostname, so you'll have to go with NAT. However, in case of several VM's with the same hostname and their hosts connected to the same network that will be problematic, won't it? Now, I think I can use the bridged network connection option with DHCP and that will give me what I need in case of one VM (I did not try it in this case, but I remember doing it previously). (I also can't access the guest via its hostname, but that's not crucial here since if push comes to shove I can use its address directly - as long as it is the same for everybody - and not the name). I can also ping and telnet from the guest to 172.241.0.100 (the host), but that's about it - there is no connection to the wider network. Now, I can ping 172.241.0.101 and telnet to it from the host. (172.241.0.100 is the address assigned statically to the host by VMWare Network VMNet8 Adapter - that's the NAT adapter above). I then tried assigning a static address to the guest: auto eth0 ping Workshop does not work if I use the address returned by ifconfig it does not work either from the host). However, I am unable to connect to the guest from the host at all. That works as far as connecting to the internet is concerned. Tried to connect the guest via DHCP, in /etc/network/interfaces: auto eth0 "Installed" a NAT network adapter for the guest.ping Workshop would ping the guest that is running on that host and not any other clone) The host system must be able to access its respective guest via that name (e.g.All the clones should have the same hostname (let's say Workshop to be concrete).The guest has to have access to the internet.I am trying - and so far failing - to setup networking to satisfy the following requirements: That virtual machine will be cloned, distributed among several people (running Windows hosts) and used for conducting a programming workshop. I have a Windows host that runs guest Ubuntu VM via vmplayer.
