No internet on VMWare workstation 12 player - vmware

My Host OS is Windows 10 and I have installed VMware workstaion 12 player. On Guest VMWare Machine I have installed OS Windows 2008 Server R2.
I used to get internet on Guest(VmWare) Machine , Now it is not coming. When I checked "Local Area Connection" i found the message "Your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource (DNS server) is not responding"
Then I followed the steps mentioned in below link. Still there is no internet.

Thanks and Rgds

Try to change NAT in network connection in your vmware settings.
If it works do below configuration to work it on bridge network. Go to Virtual Network Editor and do configure like in this image

VMware - How to allow IP/Ports access

I red lot of post about this question without find the good answer. The situation is simple, I have a server (Go) running on Ubuntu 14.04 (VMware Workstation 12.1.0 Pro). It listens on the 8001/8002 ports. From the host of the VM (Windows 10), I can access it from the host (Windows 10) but from my Xamarin Application or the others computers, I can't access this server.
I tried lot of things such as port transfer, edit of the NAT propreties (of the VM) and edit of the vmnetnnat.conf file as well. I tested about bridge connection but I didn't find the way to make it works with this way. etc
I also did transfer port from my internet box to get the access by IP instead of private network address (192.168.XXX.XXX) but it didn't works too.
If anyone can help, thank !
By default your Workstation configures your VM in either NAT or Host-only or event in Custom network configuration what means your host computer (you Windows 10) is the only endpoint which can access this box without any additional configuration in your router.
I would suggest you the easiest way is to use "Bridge" configuration what you mentioned below by getting (perhaps DCHP) IP schema from your parent router (the one gives your Windows 10). Thus your VM will be available across your "Home network", Once done, check your ICMP (pings) from Windows 10 to your VM, make sure you can see it.
Second point is that your 8001/8002 ports might be closed by firewall (iptables) in your ubuntu / Windows 10. You probably want to check your both firewalls as your traffic is being routes by "Virtual router" of Workstation.

Launching/connecting available virtual machine from a win10 home edition

Hi there I wl like to understand: How to do starting a virtual machine and launch it from my client (windows 10 Home Edition based Laptop) using the DNS and credentials provided ? I got the DNS and user credentials.
If you have the VM created and turned off, then you should go to the Azure portal and turn it on, then use Remote Desktop Protocol from your local machine to connect to that virtual machine.

How to configure multiple vmwares to run on one server?

I have a Windows Server 2012 with only one ethernet card, and a VMWare workstation 11 installed on this server box.
I need to run multiple VMWares on this server box and connect to these VMWares from other machines within the same network of the server box. Thus, I need to assign an individual IP address to each VMWare.
I tried to make the network setting in each VMWare be bridged, but I can't ping the VMWares from the host system (the server box).
Is there any missing configuration?
Do I need to have more than one ethernet card? Or can more than one VMWare take different IPs shared with the host?

network access through proxy server with virtualbox

In the company that I work, we have Windows 7 installed on all PCs. We don't have internet access through Windows but can set proxy settings in Firefox and can thus access the Internet.
I installed a virtual box on one of these Windows 7 machines and Ubuntu 14.10 but I have problem with accessing the Internet.
How can I access the Internet through the proxy server via an Ubuntu virtual box running under Windows 7?
you have to make a Network Bridge in Windows (between VBox Host-Only Network and the Controller connected to the Internet)
In Virtualbox you can leave the Adapter at NAT
I´m using this with my debian-vm. Additionally I added the Network-Proxy as system-wide Proxy in my VM.
Good Luck!
I think you can use Bridged network mode on your virtual box. Then assign IP address for you ubuntu to connect to your network, and then use the proxy setting at the ubuntu's internet browser.
you can set the proxy for the console:
$export http_proxy=http://[ipproxy]:[port]
on firefox you can set the proxy in the network settings.
$export http_proxy=http://[ipproxy]:[port]
this is works for me in solaris
network setting is in bridge

VMWare - Virtual operating system static IP address

What is the best way to have a virtual operating system have a static IP address in VMWware. I would like to keep the IP address static since it is a virtual server.
You can configure VMware DHCP server [which runs on host OS] to assign a fix IP address to a VM each time.
According to vmware docs, configuration is stored at the following locations:
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\vmnetdhcp.conf
Windows Vista or Windows 7
C:\ProgramData\VMware\vmnetdhcp.conf
Linux (host-only)
/etc/vmware/vmnet1/dhcp/dhcp.conf
Linux (NAT)
/etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcp/dhcp.conf
VMWare Fusion for Mac (host-only)
/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/vmnet1/dhcpd.conf
VMWare Fusion for Mac (NAT)
/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/vmnet8/dhcpd.conf
Static IP and DNS name by MAC example:
host ubuntu {
hardware ethernet 00:0c:29:c0:2c:58;
fixed-address 192.168.118.3;
}
For more details on this please see this blog post.
Assuming you're not using NAT-based VMWare networking, the answer isn't any different for a virtual (guest) server than for a real one. You can:
Assign a static IP via whatever mechanism the guest operating system supports.
Configure the guest operating system to get its IP address from a DHCP server, and configure the DHCP server to return a static IP address for the VMWare instance's MAC address.
If you want the VM slice / VM machine (guest) to have a static IP, assign it to the VM slice. Then on the VM Server select "Bridged" for the network adapter settings. This tells VMWare to use what ever IP settings you have established on the guest.
This works on my machine
Follow these simple steps. Takes just 5 minutes.
1. Note the MAC of the VM
2. On the host machine open C:\ProgramData\VMware\vmnetdhcp.conf
a. Or C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\vmnetdhcp.conf
b. These 2 files are auto synced or mirrored.
c. Open the editor in Administrator mode. Eg notepad++. Otherwise you will get access denied message
3. Add a new entry at bottom of the configuration file, right before the "# End" marker. MyGuestVM is any unique name. Example below
host sunilW2008Server {
hardware ethernet 00-0C-29-05-2B-A0;
fixed-address 192.168.63.222;
}
3. Shutdown the VM and close the Workstation
4. Re-start the VMWare DHCP and NAT services for changes to take effect (From services.msc)
Notes:
the below folders are at sync automatically.. change at one place and the same will be reflected on the other folder
C:\ProgramData\VMware
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware
A simple workaround, configure the vmware dhcp server to use longer leases.
In the vmware config folder (on windows 7 -- C:\ProgramData\vmware) edit the file
vmnetdhcp.conf and change the values of default-lease-time and max-lease-time to
something bigger say 4 months (4mo*30days*24hours*60min*60sec = 10368000).
Then restart the vmware dhcp server. Then release and renew the lease on the guest.
Now your guest IP is static for next four months.
If you prefer to leave the VM host configuration as default, it is also possible to configure the guest machine to request a fixed address for dhcp. This will work even for the NAT network. In the case of Ubuntu and dhclient, this is achieved by the following block in dhclient.conf:
interface "eth0" {
send dhcp-requested-address 192.168.1.222;
}
