I have Workstation 9.0.3 running on my Windows 2008R2 server. The server is a DNS & Domain Controller. I understand the idea that this is bad practice but I have just the one physical machine to use.
I have several Windows VM's running using NAT and assigning their IP's to be static as follows.
IP : 192.168.28.x
SUBNET 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY 192.168.28.2
DNS: 192.168.28.2
This works fine for all of my Windows Virtual Machines.
If I setup a VM with Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, or Debian I can assign the IP as I do in the Windows machines however they cannot access the internet.
I can ping 8.8.8.8 and get a response, I cannot ping anything by name, so no web browsing, no updates to the machine can take place etc.
I use to think it was an issue with Linux, however I can run the same distributions in VirtualBox and they work flawlessly.
Any help would be appreciated, I would prefer to stick with VMWare.
