Setup VPN to accept incoming connection on VMplayer - windows

I have VMware player 5.0.2 installed in Win8 64bit host and running Win7 as Guest.
I'm trying to set up Win7 guest to receive VPN connection (PPTP), but it is not working, the VPN connection request keeps being disconnected.
Is it possible to create VPN on a bridged network? I am aiming to get the Guest Win7 to accept incoming VPN connections and allow the Win7 Guest to access the outside through VPN. Any clue or suggestions?

Yes we can setup VPN connection on a bridged network. It is possible to dial from my XP machine to a VPN server set up on a windows server 2008 which was running on VMWare.

Howto route network traffic from WSL2 through a VPN connection established by the Windows 10 host?

So what I'm trying to do is to use nested VPN connections inside WSL2. The Windows 10 host is logged into one (Cisco AnyConnect, if it makes any difference) VPN, and I'm trying to establish another (openconnect GP protocol) VPN connection inside WSL2, that would get routed through the host OS's established VPN tunnel.
This all works fine with VirtualBox using NAT networking, but I have absolutely no idea how to achieve the same result with WSL2.
Zero experience with Windows networking, so don't really know where to even start (other than Googling, which has been of zero help so far). I have no need for any fancy VLANs or network confs for WSL2 containers. I'm simply using WSL2 to avoid the utter horseshit that is development tools running on Windows.

Can't access APEX server from another same network PC

I have Oracle APEX 5.X installed over Oracle Express DB on windows 10 on a virtual machine.
I turned off all firewalls on the guest windows 10 VM and added all outbound and inbound rules to allow connecting to Oracle APEX port 8008.
I ran execute dbms_xdb.setListenerLocalAccess(l_access => FALSE); to allow accessing the APEX server over network instead of just localhost.
Now, What I'm able to do:
I can ping the guest machine IP address (192.168.100.2) from other
PCs on the network
I can open Oracle APEX inside the guest machine
192.168.100.2:8080/apex
What I can't do:
I can't open 192.168.100.2:8080/apex from any other PC in the same
network. I get an error: This site can’t be reached
192.168.100.2 refused to connect.
I searched for 5 hours now without any help.
Issue solved after connecting the laptop with the VM to a wired LAN connection instead of wireless.

How To Setup Local Tunnel Through Windows Remote Desktop

My local machine is using MacOSX/linux and am able to connect to a Windows Remote Desktop machine (using Windows Remote Desktop/Remote Desktop Connection).
The Windows Remote Desktop machine is able to connect to certain servers that I cannot connect to locally on my MAC. For example, connection to database servers, specific web servers, etc.
How can I setup some kind of tunnel so that I can access the servers locally on my mac?
You can configure port forwarding on the Windows machine
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=3390 listenaddress=192.168.1.111 connectport=3389 connectaddress=192.168.0.33
where 192.168.1.111 is IP of your Windows machine and 192.168.0.33 is destination server. From your Mac you will connect to Windows machine specifying port in RDP connection 192.168.1.111:3390 and you will be connected to the remote server. You have to provide credentials from the server, not your local Win machine. This configuration survive restarting Windows machine.
Just install Igiko on your windows machine and then open it in web browser on your MacOSX. Igiko is acting like web-based RDP gateway, using it you will be able to open RDP console to any Windows machine in your network.

From Win 8 host machine can't access Oracle on VMWARE using WS 2008

I've just created a vmware virtual machine with Windows Server 2008 and intalled Oracle XE 11g.
On the host system (Windows 8.1), I am trying to connect to this Oracle Server through SQL Developer, without any success. The error I get is:
Status: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
The network is set to Host-only: A private network shared with the host, and I can ping to it from the host machine.
Also I have already disabled the firewall in the VM.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks in advance.
Faced the same problem, I was need to connect from host to vm oracle database, my solution below
Use network bridge adapter om VM
Set static IP address on VM
Disable vm firewall or forward port (1521)
Stop database instance, listener etc
Edit ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora and
RACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora to change localhost on
static ip
Start database

Access VPN connection on guest Virtual PC from Host OS

I am running as my Host OS - Win 7 x64 and running an instance of Virtual PC XP. I am running the Cisco ISPec VPN Client on the Guest XP VPC OS and can successfully connect to my company's corporate network.
I cannot run the Cisco IPSec client sw on the Host, because it is 64-bit, Cisco doesn't support 64-bit on its IPSec client products and I don't have alot of choices at the moment in terms of moving to Cisco's SSL VPN client (AnyConnect).
The XP VPC Guest OS is not using the NAT network adapter, but the physical adapter of the machine.
I can ping the Host from the Guest OS and vice versa when Cisco Client is not running on the XP VPC guest OS.
Couple of problems:
When the Cisco client is running and connected the guest OS cannot see the Host any longer.
I would like to be able to access the VPN from the Host when the XP VPC guest is connected to VPN.
For #2, I have tried at least one technique, described: xenomorph.net/use-cisco-vpn-under-vista-x64/
This technique turns on ICS on the Cisco pseudo network adapter.
I could not get this to work. I may have followed the instructions incorrectly, however.
I have also looked at: http://www.pringle.net.nz/blog/PermaLink,guid,12ee0de7-f998-4084-8b06-537b3dbd5d9a.aspx
... which involves using a Loopback adapter and bridging between the host and guest OS. I have not followed this because the instructions are not completely clear.
Lastly, I have seen references on the net regarding a x64 build of OpenVPN, but I am hesitant to go in that direction.
Can anyone steer me in the correct direction regarding what to do?
actually cisco has cisco vpn client for windows 7 64 bit ,you can find it on 4shared.com ,but still cisco does not have client for windows 8
