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.

I recently deployed the EVE-NG VM into GCP. In short this VM allows me to test routers and switches which are virtual. These virtual devices run within EVE-NG. I would like for some of these virtual devices to communicate with other VMs that I have setup in GCP. So far I have not had any success. I've read the following article on how to do this: https://openeye.blog/2020/04/21/deploying-eve-ng-on-google-cloud-platform-part-3/ but I am still not able to ping a router from my other Linux VM or vice versa. Do I need to create a 2nd VPC network or something? I've very new to GCP in general.
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 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 a FreeNAS vm running in ESXi 6. I have installed VirtualBox jail on FreeNAS and assigned it a static IP.
I can ping that IP from shell in FreeNAS, but not from any of my other virtual machines.
They are all on the same subnet.
What can I try to fix this?
Firstly, FreeNAS should not be installed within a VM environment especially for production systems. This is also mentioned repeatedly on FreeNAS support and forums. I hope you are just conducting testing.
Back to your question, have you checked your firewalls / routing on your ESXi VMs, VB VMs, FreeNAS? I haven't tried this particular configuration before but typically its incorrect network settings that prevent pings. Have you tried dynamic IP?
I have created an Amazon EC2 instance (redhat 6) to run a 3d application (linux only app using openInventor) on the cloud. I installed VirtualGL, vnc and installed my application. I ran it in a vnc session using vglrun and everything went well except rendering objects that used shading language didn't work the way they were supposed to.
I had the same problem when I tried running my application through VMWare on a windows box.
So I was wondering if Amazon servers are all windows based and linux EC2 instances are created through VMWare or some other virtual mechanism? Or am I missing something else?
AWS's EC2 service runs mostly on Linux servers, nearly a half-million of them according to the article below. They are running a modified version of the Xen hypervisor.
