Hi,
I have looked over some of the available threads on similar issues, but I am unable to get this working. I would like everything to communicate, but I'm only half way there with my current configuration.
I've got Workstation on a Laptop, which hosts 1 VM. I've configured IPv4 on the VM. I've also configured a Domain, DNS, and I've got overall communication with my VM's and host. However, I'm adding a physical server into the mix, and would like to be able to communicate with my physical server, which is connected via switch to the laptop.
Physical Server <---> 4-port, simple switch <---> Laptop w/Workstation hosting 1 VM.
With the current configuration, I have communication between my Laptop, and my VM. I have full communication between my Laptop & VM, and I am able to do the same from my Server to my Laptop. I am also able to Ping my Server from my VM, but that is about it. I am unable to ping my VM from my Server. I am curious to know if I need to completely reconfigure my IP Scheme and utilize Bridging, or if there is simply a configuration change I need to make. When I disabled NAT, and attempted to utilize bridged networking, I had no communication at all.
Here is my current configuration:
Virtual Network Editor
- VMnet0 - Bridged - Automatic
- VMnet8 - NAT - Subnet of 192.168.174.0 | 255.255.255.0 | DG 192.168.174.2 | The rest is default
Machine configuration:
- VM (Network Adaptor set to NAT)
- IPv4 192.168.174.2
- Sub 255.255.255.0
- DG 192.168.174.2
- DNS 192.168.174.133
- Laptop
- IPv4 192.168.1.10
- Sub 255.255.255.0
- DG 192.168.1.2
- DNS 192.168.174.133
- 192.168.1.10
- Server
- IPv4 192.168.1.15
- Sub 255.255.255.0
- DG 192.168.1.2
- DNS 192.168.174.133
- 192.168.1.10
I may end up starting over, but any assistance with this would be helpful, since I have full communication between my Laptop and VM, and I can even ping the Server from the VM, the hostname resolves as well. This tells me it's most likely a NAT issue. I tried port forwarding, but it didn't work.
Thank you,
Justin
