I installed Vsphere 6.0 on a VM workstation 11 and on booting it gave me an IP address (static) - 192.168.254.XX and i used the same address to log into the Vsphere Client.
In Vsphere Client, I created 01 VM. My ESXI machine in workstation is connected to physical NIC (Bridges connection) and is supposedly getting internet access.
How will the internet connection be routed to Vsphere VMs via ESXI system on VM Workstation. As per my understanding, the Vsphere client where my VMs are installed, is interfaced to ESXI system. So, do i need to NAT my NIC to the ESXI IP address or to my ISP address (DHCP)??
i want to give internet access to my VMs in Vsphere client How should i go about it? My internet connection is a DHCP based system.
Also, how to go about configuring DD-WRT to distribute internet to various VMs??

If you create two virtual manchine, you should create a virtual NIC for each, with different IP addresses. So you end up having 3 IP: ESXI native IP, VM1 IP as VM2 IP. If you want to access your VM from outside your lan, you should open the port on your router and then NAT to desired VM IP. Hope this is what you need.

I have Windows 7 as a Host OS on my PC, It's Connected to the Internet.
I have a Win-Server 2016 on my VMware workstation. Its my Web-Application's host.
Win-Server is Connected to the internet through my host os (Win 7) using a NAT connection.
I want to host my webApplication in this VM (winServer 2016) which has a shared Internet connection.
My Win-Server Connection has this Local IP Address: 192.168.111.19
My Win7 has this Local IP Address: 192.168.111.1
Both of them are Connected to the Internet using (something like) this IP: 86.10.15.20
When I host my Application in Win7, it will works through my Internet IP (86.10.15.20)
But When I host, my Application on Win-Server (in VM), I doesn't work at all.
Actually I don't know what Scenario I must implement to achieve this goal. Please note, what should I do ?
Sounds like you need to update the NAT rule to point to the Win-Server VM IP address instead of you Win7 IP address. This is normally done at the router level.
I have set up several ubuntu VMs using virtualbox. Right now I'm using network type as NAT and have access to it from the host machine, but what are the network changes that are needed to access these VMs through putty from other machines that are connected to the same network(wifi) ?
figured it out myself, first turn off the VM.
- enable two network adapters
- 1) host only - to connect between host and guest machines
- 2) Bridged network - to expose the vm to the network and assign ip address for each vm through dhcp
note: In my case I used vagrant tool to spin up my VMs, hence assigned fixed private ip to each vm,by enabling host only..I could do a headless start and then log in to VMs through putty(using fixed private ip) and get the dynamic bridge network ip.
I am new to vmware. I have installed vcenter in a server and also built a cluster. I am having 4 hosts in my cluster. I created vm's on each cluster. I am unable to assign a static ip to vm machine in hosts. How to assign a static ip to a vm machine??
In vSphere, you can customize guest IP addresses only during deployment of a VM from a template. If you have already existing VMs, you have to use the tools of the guest OSes to modify their network settings.
But that does not mean you have to access the guest OS directly. If VMware Tools are installed on the guest OS, you can instead use the PowerCLI cmdlet Invoke-VMScript to call guest OS tools that configure your network settings.
Example for Windows with netsh:
Invoke-VMScript -ScriptText 'C:\Windows\system32\netsh.exe interface ip set address "connection name" static 192.168.0.123 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 1' -VM MyVM -GuestCredential (Get-Credential)
How do you assign Static IP address to A Physical Server ?
same goes for a Virtual Server..
Open Network and Sharing Center
Click on Change Adapter Settings
Right Click on Adapter
Select Properties
open Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) if using IPv4
Select the Radio Button "User the Following IP address"
Do the Same for the DNS if you want Select "Use the Following IP Address"
End Result Static IP within a VM
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 a Host with VirtualBox installed and Guest installed (both with Windows XP SP3).
I do have connection between them. And also the guest have an internet connection.
I can connect via Remote Desktop Connection from Host to Guest, but I also want to be able to connect to Guest from any other PC. If can, how to achieve this?
Guest is using 2 network adapters, one NAT for sharing the internet connection and then one Host-only to be able for both machines to see each other on the local network.
Assuming you have an Internet router providing access to your ISP...
Change the VM networking from NAT to Bridged.
Check that the guest still has Internet connectivity after rebooting or ipconfig /renew.
Configure the router to give the guest a fixed IP address. (Typically, the guest can still use DHCP but the router is configured to give the guest the same IP address every time.)
Determine which ports and protocols needed to connect with the guest. E.G, TCP on port 3389 (RPD) for Remote Desktop.
Configure the router's "port-forwarding" feature to route external connections to the IP address of your guest. You can designate a different port for the external connections but that might not get through firewalls between the remote computer and its ISP.
Determine the external IP address of your Internet router.
Connect from the remote computer to the IP address and designated port.
