I've been searching around and found no similar issues have been asked.
My desktop (windows 7) is in LAN, has IP (192.168.3.121).
I installed vmware (windows 7), using NAT connection (172.168.174.128). The guest is able to access internet without problem.
In guest, if I "ping 192.168.3.121", this will be ok.
If I "ping 192.168.3.xxx", will also be ok.
If I "ping 192.168.174.2" (DNS), this will be ok.
If I "ping 192.168.174.1", can't ping.
Note my host Vmnet8's ip is indeed 192.168.174.1. Ping from host also doesn't work.
From host:
"ping 192.168.174.128" (guest IP), does not work
"ping 192.168.174.2", does not work
Both host/guest windows are installed without any other "security/defender/firewall" related softwares.
Anywhere can go wrong?
Thanks.
If you configured your vmware VM to run in a virtualized NAT network, then you will not be able to access/ping your VM from the Host, or anywhere else for that matter, without configuring port forwarding for that virtual NAT network.
If you would like to be able to access your VM from your host you can either:
A) Change the mode of the network adapter for the VM to a bridged adapter. This will make the VM act as if it is just another computer on the same network your Desktop is and will be accessible at an IP such as 192.168.3.122
or
B) Add a Host-Only network adapter to the VM. This second NIC will be connected to a network that has no internet access, but is connected to the host and any other VMs on the same host-only network
Also, check the firewall settings to allow inbound ICMP inside the VM.
You mean that you cannot ping to the VMnet8 interface of your physical PC.
Maybe it is not activated.
It should be activated first by issuing the command at the cmd prompt with the admin's privilege.
C:\Windows\system32>netsh interface set interface name="VMware Network Adapter V
Mnet8" admin=ENABLED
I have seen this issue with two different windows 10 machine & two different version of vmware workstation ( 15 & 16).
One way it works is I start the wireshark & under capture options I select on VMWARE8(default for workstation/need to adjust according to your NAT Interface) & than start ping from My Local Machine to NAT IP of the VM .
It takes time but it works. I do not what triggers this .
My initial thought was it's one of the Windows 10 upgrade but with two different version of windows 10 & this old issue resurfaced.
Navigate to "Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections".
Disable and Enable the VMware Network Adapter VMnet8 and try again.
I was having same problem after the latest release of VirtualBox-6.1.6-137129-Win update. "NAT Network" on any of the guest machine was not working. So i downgraded my virtual box version to 6 and works fine with all my VMs but problem remains in Kali Linux.
NAT Network was successful in giving IP to kali machine but Internet was not working. Problem i found was somehow gateway of kali wasn't set. Then i configured both Gateway and DNS manually and it worked for me.
Make sure that you Uncheck the option "Use this Connection only for resources on this network."
Kali manual configuration for IP, DNS and Gateway

I am studying Active directory. I created a virtual lab to experiment for the couse I am studying.
I am using Oracle VM 6.1 and I created 2 virtual machine. One where I installed Windows server 2019 and one wher eI installed Windows7 (my laptop cannot run anything bigger than that).
In each VM I created 2 network adapters, the first is attached to "internal network" on and the second to a "bridged adapter"
I then set the ip of the win2019 VM to 192.168.100.10 and the one for the Win7 machine to 192.168.100.50, both from the network configuration of the OSs.
I then activated the DNS service on the Win2019 and used 192.168.100.10 as DNS in the Win7 network configuration.
When I ping -4 server1 ( the anme I gave o the Win2019VM) from cmd in Windows7 I get as ip 192.168.100.31.
If I deactivate the bridged network adapters in both machines, I get the expected one, 192.168.100.10
If I reactivate the adapters, I get 192.168.100.31 again.
Seems WIN2019 gets the internal network adapter as second ethernet adapter.
From what I see on the course I am studing it is expected to have 192.168.100.10 as result of ping -4 server1 with both networks adapters active.
How can I get the DNS have server1 give 192.168.100.10 Ipv4 address when I ping it? Happy to provide more details if needed.
I am almost new to networking so please be patient if it is a stupid question. I checked the forum, but seems none posted this question here
Thnaks in advance
Edit this is the ipconfig /all for the Windows 2019 machine aka server1
This the win7 one
IPCONFIG /ALL from both servers.
I'm trying to set up a personal cloud server on a Surface Pro, but I'm running into a networking issue that has me completely stumped.
My setup looks like this: I've installed a Nextcloud server on a VMWare virtual machine that's running Ubuntu 16.04, and I have it configured to use NAT so the virtual machine shares a fixed ip address with the host machine. I've forwarded ports 80, 443, etc. on the host machine's NAT device so requests go to the virtual machine. Additionally I've configured my router to have a static ip address, and I've forwarded all the relevant ports to the Surface Pro on my router.
So the trouble is that I can't connect to my server from my browser. HOWEVER, I am able to ping my server, I can SSH in to both the virtual machine and the host machine from the internet, and I am able to access the server in my browser from any computer that's connected to LAN, no problem.
This all sounds like it could be a firewall issue to me (maybe port 80 is blocked on the host machine for some reason??) but the fact that I have no trouble accessing the server from LAN is confusing the issue, and also deactivating the firewall on the host machine doesn't solve the issue.
Any thoughts?
I solved the problem! It turns out the NAT device was improperly configured to use its own DHCP service rather than using the local DHCP service. Basically it was assigning a LAN IP address 169.254.72.176 to the virtual machine, while everything else was configured to expect that the virtual machine's IP address was fixed at 192.168.34.43.
I configured 2 guest OS (CentOS & Windows10) in virtual box and the base machine running on windows 10. both guest OS are configured with 2 network cards one is on NAT and other one is Bridged. My problem is only one guest machine is taking IP from my org dhcp and other one is not. please suggest. I tried configuring manual IP but, its not pining.
NAT wont take IP address, it will create internal network and communicate via hosts network IP address.
I have an ubuntu VM running in VirtualBox. I am trying to ping it, but cannot. I have the network setting changed from 'NAT' to 'bridged'.
here is the screenshot of the ip address info:
and here is the result of a ping....
i did some google searching, but have not been able to pinpoint the issue yet.... thanks
When you use NAT mode, you will never ping the virtual machine from the host machine because it is the NAT restriction. But when you use the bridged mode, you should be able to ping the virtual machine because it will create a direct path as if both of the machine directly connected. If the ping is fail, perhaps there is some program or application that are blocking the network like a firewall.
I installed VirtualBox with a Oracle VM.
Now I simply try to access the Oracle Database of the VM from the host environment, but it doesn't work.
ipconfig on my host shows an IP number, but when I try to open this (Port 80), i get the content of localhost of the host system instead of the content of the server in the VirtualBox.
Which is the proper network setting ?
- Use Host-Only Networking on your guest machine
- See if the server (WEB, DB etc.) is running.
- Mouse-over network icon on status bar to note ip address
- From your host browser send a request to your quest server
I usually do a bridged connection so the vm will pick up an ip address from my router's dhcp; if that option is not available, your other option is to employ port forwarding where you assign an unused port on the host machine to forward to the port on the vm. The virtual box manual has a lot of useful info on both of these options. Let us know if you need additional info or examples.
Turn off the Windows Firewall on the Virtual PC. I've just fixed my HTTP request from Host to VM by turning off the firewall.
In the virtual box go to the settings->Network->Adapter and select Bridge Adapter for (Attached to) field. Don't forget to turn off your firewall in the machine.
