I have Windows XP running inside Windows 7 via Virtual PC (XPMode) and installed Zend Server CE on the virtual XP guest. The webserver is running and can be accessed on the guest, but I cannot access the webserver from the Win7 host.
I configured a static IP address and subnet of 255.255.255.0 on the guest and can ping this IP from the guest but not from the host. The other way it works fine, i.e. I can ping the host from the guest. I can also access the internet from the virtual XP guest.
I tried different Network Options in the VirtualPC settings, but nothing helps. Googling the topic I couldn't find anything helpful yet.
Any idea, what I could try to access the webserver on the virtual XP guest from the Win7 host?
Finally I got it running.
Here is what I did:
VirtualPC => Settings => Network: Selected my WiFi Adapter instead of NAT
Determined the IP address of the virtual XP guest with ipconfig.
Accessed webserver on guest with browser on Win7 host by the determinded IP address.
Don't ask me why, but it didn't work with defining a static IP address on the guest, so I left it to dynamic. The ping command does not work either, so don't check access by pinging your guest, just test with your browser.
I dont't really know much about network configuration, so there might be a better solution :)

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'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
this is my first Post here. Please be gentle :)
I have the following Problem:
I have a Windows Server 2k8 Installation hosted somewhere, and now i wanted to run an VirtualBox Guest on this Server and give it its own public IP. I asked my Server-Provider for an Extra IP which I got. Now this IP is in a totally different Network...
The Host System has this IP Address:
85.x.x.x / 28
and the Guest System should have this IP:
123.x.x.x / 28
Now my Question is:
Can i give this VM the Second IP and let it be publically accessible, and how do I do that?
Assuming you're in control of everything where you host it, say on a machine in your home.
Open oraclebox, go to your vm, right click go to settings -> Network, and set it to NAT. (assuming your IP is in the same subnet of the host)
Add the IP to you DNS server
Start the vm and change the ip.
That should cover your issue.
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 am developing an application related to networking . Its prerequisite is that the machine must have an ip address to function properly.
When i am on my home network , my machine gets the IP address through DHCP present on my network. However, when my machine is in stand alone mode e.g. while travelling i can not have an ip address and the status is LAN DISCONNECTED.
Is there a workaround so that i can get an ip address or virtual ip address in standalone mode?
I have already tried configuring with loopback address and other ip address.
Can I do it by installing a dhcp server on my machine? My system uses WINXP?
Network card: BroadcomNetxtreme 57XX gigabit ethernet.
I strongly feel that the application details have nothing to do with it. Since, when the machine has an ip address it starts working properly.
Still i am open to ideas.
I advise you to work inside a virtual machine, and then assign a virtual IP and vitual MAC of your convenience. You can use Virtual Box or VMWare.
