I have two laptops running windows 10, and vmware workstation 14 installed on both. My objective is to be able to connect from vm A hosted on laptop A to Vm B hosted on Laptop B. note that both laptops are connected to the same router. please advice about the configartion that should be applied.
first of all you should connect both laptop together with cable or WiFi(Hot Spot) after that you must use bridge mode on your VMnet in your VMWare Workstation on your laptop and use correct physical interface ( Ethernet or Wireless)
use same subnet for VMs and connect them.
Note 1: Turn off your Firewall and Third-party firewall software on both Laptop and VMs
Note 2: If and do not make mistake you can change Bridge interface in VMWare Workstation on Edit > Virtual Network Settings

I have VMware Workstation 15.5 Pro installed on Windows 10 laptop, with 4 guest VMs. I ran wireshark from one of the guest VMs and I could see unicast traffic from other VMs (kindly ignore broadcast & multicast traffic for now). Kindly see the screenshot below:
Host 10.20.20.1
VM1 10.20.20.13 (Win10 VM with wireshark)
VM2 10.20.20.99 (Linux VM)
VM3 10.20.20.240 (Server-2016 VM with DNS role)
VM4 10.20.20.250 (Linux VM)
This means there is zero isolation. How is this possible and how can I prevent this behavior?
I want to connect an external Wi-Fi adapter from my local PC to a Windows Server in AWS.
Is it possible?
It appears you are wanting to make your local wifi (eg at home or in the office) accessible to an Amazon EC2 Windows instance.
This is not a capability provided by AWS.
You might be able to find a software product that can extend a USB device or a network connection between two computers across the Internet. For example, I have seen people use a virtual serial port to allow a "dongle" to be connected to a virtual computer. However, any such solution is something you would configure in the Windows operating system and your own computer. It would not have anything specific to do with Amazon EC2.
I've installed pfsense 2.3 x64 in virtualbox with 2 adapters; One is bridged to my wifi adapter (adsl modem) (WAN) and the other one set as'Internal network' ('intnet') (Lan);
The problem is that although pfsense can automatically detect dhcp over first adapter and get an IP but my system (the host) can not ping the pfsense server (pfsense can ping both adsl modem gateway and the host).
Note1: Disabling the antivirus and firewall (kaspersky internet security 2016) has no effect.
Note2: I know that this setup works because I use the exact same network configurations for a Kerio Control server (v9.0.2, installed in virtualbox)
Note3: If I constantly ping pfsense server in my host (ping 192.168.1.102 -t) and at the same time restart pfsense server, during the booting phase of pfsense I can get two pings!
After contacting the pfsense official forum, it turned out that the WAN interface blocks everything by default. Therefore, either a rule should be defined to allow WAN to accept traffic or access server from LAN side.
I figured this out without having to go through the WAN interface, answer is on the pfsense forum
Configure host-only network "vboxnet1" (or any of the other host-only networks if you're already using vboxnet1 for other VMs) with the following:
192.168.1.77 (or whatever IP you want your host to appear as on the network)
255.255.255.0
DHCP Disabled
The make sure that the LAN adapter on your pfSense VM is a "Host-only Adapter" and that it's using "vboxnet1" (or whatever network you configured above)
Reboot/re-install and http://192.168.1.1 should work now
I have a windows server 2003 as the guest in VMware player and windows 7 enterprise as the host. I'm trying to connect to the inernet from my guest and i can't. In my VMware player virtual machine settings my network addapter is set to NAT but i can't get it to work.My host is in the work LAn and connected to the internet through it. Could this have something to do with it not working properly? Do I have to perform some special setup?
The problem may be caused by:
You're NATting to the wrong host's network interface in the VM's option.
Your VM's NIC DNS configuration is wrong. To verify this issue, try to PING the host's NIC from the VM.
I have two separate VMs created with VMWare Fusion. One is running Windows 7. The other is running Centos. I have an application on the Centos VM that needs to communicate with resources on the Windows VM. Does anyone know how I can setup communication between the VMs?
Your Fusion virtual machines all get IP addresses from DHCP by default. So, just use what you would to get resources if they were different machines.
