VMware - How to allow IP/Ports access - vmware

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.

CentOS 7 (running as a VM under Hyper-V on Windows 11 Pro) - http port forwarding NOT working

I have an older dedicated PC running on my home network as a webserver. Trying to retire it by replacing it with a VM on a brand new workstation Santa brought me. Simple home hobbyist network consists of router, 10Gb switch and of course computing devices off of that.
The new machine is running Windows11 Pro, and via Hyper-V I have a CentOS 7 VM. I've configured the firewall to enable http service (and port 80) being accessible from outside my network. I'm running httpd. From behind my router/switch I can access the web server with no problem, from the host machine and other machines on my network). Alas - I'm unable to access this web server remotely/externally - even after turning of the VM's firewall and ensuring port forwarding was properly pointing to IP:80 from my router. I have been scouring the web/forums/etc. for days now - nothing I've tried seems to work.
Also, I was careful in ensuring the Hyper-V settings for a virtual switch are pointing to my actual hardware NIC and set accordingly as found here and other forums (see attached image for details).
From all the "experimentations" I've tried - it's seems like the port is just not being forwarded from my router properly. So it's really pointing towards my router at this point. BUT - I can and have configured real hardware before (over decades) with no problem. Since I'm NEWB to Hyper-V and VM's - I'm worried some setting may not be correct.
Thus - reaching out to anyone with similar experience who's solved this problem. Thanks in advance.
Here's a graphic in which I captured some of the many things I've tried to no avail.

How to create bridged connections in Virtualbox (Windows 10)

I am trying to create a Linux virtual machine hosted in Windows 10 that has a unique IP address from the host. I understand that a bridged connection is required for this but can not find simple instructions for how to accomplish this.
When I change the network settings in Virtualbox to 'Bridged Adapter' and set the Promiscuous mode to 'allow all' the virtual machine cannot connect to the internet. I assume there is something in the Windows host that needs to be done but can not find what that is.

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

Access Internet from BB10 simulator

I want to access Internet from my BB10 simulator.
I have changed the setting of the virtual machine and changed the Network Connection type from NAT to Bridged.
But after this when I restarted the simulator, it is unable to get the IP address. Thus QNX IDE is unable to discover it.
Please suggest how can I resolve this issue ?
According to an administrator on the blackberry forums you can do the following:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Cascades-Development/BB10-Dev-Alpha-Simulator-not-connecting-to-WiFi/td-p/1842579
1) Power down your VM
2) In VMWare select your VM and then click "Edit Virtual Machine Settings"
3) Select Network Adapter
4) Change from NAT to Bridge mode, which will allow the simulator to have direct access your physical network card.
5) Start the simulator again.
In case this is still an issue for you or anyone else; If I understand correctly, when you switch to bridged connection, you do have internet access on your simulator, but the QNX IDE does not find it via device discovery.
I just had the same problem, it can be solved by typing the simulator IP in by hand. Note that you have to use the address that VMWare displays at the very bottom of the content window, not the IP that is set in Development Settings.
I suspect the QNX IDE of only scanning a certain IP range for target devices. Thus, when you switch to bridged mode and your device obtains an arbitrary address in your LAN, it does not (necessarily) fall in that range.

using VMWare Player 5, how can I access a web server running in a VM via an external machine?

Win7 PC running Rails in an Ubuntu VM via VMWare Player. I'm working on a site and would like to show it to a friend who's outside my network.
I found this blog post, which got me very close: http://blog.fardad.com/2012/06/vmware-player-and-custom-nat-port-map.html
OK, so I have the VM that is using NAT. As I understand it, that means that the VM will appear to have the same IP address as the parent machine to outside traffic.
I went into NAT settings and added port forwarding:
Host Port: 8200 Type: UDP Virtual IP Address: 192.168.198.184:3000
OK so my understanding is that I should now be able to go to 192.168.1.1xx:8200 (the IP of my 'real' PC) and access the webserver running in the VM. But when I go to that address, I don't get anything. I can ping 192.168.198.184 (the VM) from the PC.
What I want to be able to do is go into my router and set up a port that will eventually forward into the VM.
It seems like I'm missing something very small but I don't know what that is. Help, please.
If anyone is curious how to get the Virtual Network Editor:
go to the vmware-directory and run in elevated cmd.exe-box
rundll32.exe vmnetui.dll VMNetUI_ShowStandalone
http://communities.vmware.com/message/2155960#2155960
Find the vmnetnat.conf file, usually located in
C:\ProgramData\VMware\vmnetnat.conf
or
C:\Users\Application Data\VMware\vmnetnat.conf
Edit vmnetnat, add similar line in the [incomingtcp] section
8200=192.168.198.184:3000
Restart VMware NAT Service.
Try using Bridged network option in vmware player instead of NAT. It replicates your physical network.
You can use an http proxy to do that, by doing that you don't need to expose your entire private network, check out this blog post for more information how to access docker containers from external devices
