I had set up virtual machine with debian 7 guest on my windows 7 laptop and was using it for developing a website. Now I do not have internet connection on my laptop. Is it possible in a same way connect to the guest as usual by ftp and remote mysql?
When I had internet doing ifconfig in guest, showed me the ip of it smth like 192.168.0.107, which I used to connect to guest from host. Now the some command does not show any ip, instead it shows UP BROADCAST MULTICAST
thanks
Host side
Add another network in [Virtual Network Editor], a custom VMnet4, having static NETWORK_ADDRESS 192.168.78.0/24
Check option to [Connect host virtual network adapter to this network] to ON
Check option to [Use local DHCP ... ] to be OFF ( prefer static-IP addresses here )
Guest side
Add another VirtualNIC, attached to VMnet4, with static IP_ADDRESS 192.168.78.100
Once done,
your Dev/Test-LAB will work inside this sand-box-ed environment, be the laptop connected to an external world or not.

I'm having trouble creating a network link between my Hyper-V host machine and its VM (both are running Windows 10).
I created an virtual external switch for both the host and VM so that both can access the internet and download programs and Windows updates, but I could not get them to communicate with each other directly. My research told me to create a virtual internal switch in Hyper-V and then have the devices be able to access each other that way (presumably by doing something like typing \\host_machine_IP\c$ into an explorer window once the network connection had been made). But once I created the virtual internal switch and assigned static IP address to both the host and VM on it, I still could not ping the host from the VM, or vice versa.
Am I missing a step? Let me know what more details you guys need.
By default you would have Windows Firewall blocking your communications until you confirm network profile to be other than Public. Try selecting a home\work network location profile via Control Panel > Network and Sharing canter. Or disable the firewall on the machine you try connecting to. Otherwise you should have no communication problem with the setup described, provided the subnet is the same for both machines.
I have a virtual machine with Windows 8 running. This VM is configured as a shared network with my Macbook Pro. From my Macbook Pro, where i'm running the VM I can access the ip address over the network.
But when I try to access it on a different computer in the network I can't access it. When I change my network configuration to bridged I can access it, but when i'm on another location, the ip address of the VM is changed. And thats not what I want.
Solution to this problem was that i needed to add ".local" after the hostname. For example my VM has a hostname "CoolMachine", the url in the browser wil be "CoolMachine.local" :)
I've attempted to search the forums for any insight on whether this is possible or not with no luck. I have a Windows 7 Host Machine running an Ubuntu 10.04 Virtual Machine with VMware Player. When I am not connected to the VPN my Ubuntu VM can access the internet using NAT bridging by bridging the VMware Network Adapter 8 connector to the Wireless Adapter in the Windows Network Connections dialog. If I connect to my company's VPN on the Windows host using Cisco AnyConnect VPN without changing any other settings, the VM can access the internet but cannot reach any intranet machines.
Is it possible to share this single host VPN connection with the Ubuntu VM?
If so, how can I configure the VMware Player or bridged connections to achieve this?
Thanks in advance for any help!
You have to open new Network Adapter.
For do that ;
1. Right Click on Your Virtual Machine
2. Under the table of "Hardware" tab click on "Add..." button
3. Choose "Network Adapter" and press "Finish" button
4. Choose your new Network Adapter.It will be add with new numb under your last network adapter.
5. From right side of the page , choose 'Bridged" in "Network connection" tab
6. Check "Replicate physical network connection state"
7. Click on ok
8. Run your vpn on your main OS and then run your Virtual Machine
9. Enjoy :)
We have a draytek router and use the Windows VPN client on the host. Its possible this may be dependent on the type of VPN and possibly how its configured IE security etc but certainly for this type of simple setup, the following works for me.
You should be able to share a VPN on the Host with the Guest by using NAT instead of Bridged mode:
The steps I use are as follows:
Connect to the vpn from the host and verify it's accessible
View the settings for the VM
Select 'Network Adapter' from the Hardware list
Under 'Network Connection' Select the option 'NAT: Used to share the host’s IP address'
Once the VM has started or applied the settings, the VPN should now be accessible from the guest.
It turns out this is not possible. You can't share the VPN connection between host and vm.
I have a windows 2003 VM running on my windows xp machine.
The machine name of the VM is itdom.domain.com
The windows xp host machine is disconnected from the LAN.
I want to be able to connect to the VM from the host and vice versa using there computer names. For example the URL http://itlab.domain:7080/domainsm must be accessible from the host computer.
Is there any configuration that I can do on any of the machine to do this.
Just because you have no physical network connection doesn't stop you setting up networking on the host and guest machines. One way of doing this is to add an IP address to the host machine's physical network port and create a bridged network on that port so that the guest can also see it.
You don't say which VM technology you are using, but in many of them you can setup an internal network between the host and guest. All you need to do then is edit each hosts file to add a hostname for the IP address of the other machine. You may also need to configure firewalls to allow access between the two.
No doubt there are also other ways to achieve this.
I am using Virtual PC 2007 with Windows xp Pro as the Guest.
Is it possible to add the Virtual PC to the network of the guest PC and to the domain of the Guest PC?
I enabled NAT shared networking but that only allows internet access on the guest..
Thanks
This shouldn't be a problem when you add the guest to host's physical adapter:
In the settings for your VM, go to Networking and instead of "Shared networking (NAT)", select the NIC that's connected to the network on your host (e.g. "Realtek RTL8116 Gigabit Ethernet", or whatever your NIC is; this is equivalent to VMWare's Bridged Mode). That way, the guest will appear as a real computer on your network, and will work like a physical box on the network.
IIRC, MS VPC bypasses the default Windows firewall on the host, so only the guest's firewall applies; for other FW products, you may need to enable something like "permit packets not destined for this host".
Just to add to the above answer-
1.
Inside the Local Area Connection
Properties- VM Network Services Driver
wasnt installed without which the NIC
option wont appear in the Virtual
machine Network Adapter Configuration.
I reinstalled the Virtual PC and that
entry Virtual Machine Network
Driver appeared.

Shouldn't be a problem as long as you can connect to a domain controller from the virtual computer.
If you know the IP address of a domain controller, try to ping it. Then try to ping it using the computer name, to see if name resolution is working correctly. What happens when you join a domain using Control Panel | System. Do you receive an error message?
I have not used Virtual PC, only VMWare workstation on Linux, so I do not know how the networking setup is on Virtual PC. On VMWare, you can choose between bridged and NAT networking for a virtual machine. I have been able to set up Windows guest computers as members of a windows domain using both kinds of network setup.
