I have 4 virtual machines, a client using windows 7 and 3 servers, one of which is a core server installation the other two are standard windows servers. I need to give all machines a static IP address from the range 192.168.0.0/24 and make sure they are all on a private internal network called intnet.
Can anyone give me general guidelines on how I would go about doing this?? As in how to actually set up a private internal network for these machines and then assign each VM to this network?? I am assuming that the network is created in the client windows 7 machine and then the servers are added to this network but i can't seem to find basic information on how to go about this on the net.
Any input appreciated.
VMWare already does all this for you.
It creates:
Two internal subnets
a virtual IP address in the first subnet that is bridged to a real NIC of the host.
an IP address for each VM in the second subnet.
routing between the two subnets.
There is a program called 'Manage virtual networks' that does what it says.

So I have a dedicated server with 3 ip addresses, 1 belonging to the dedicated server and 2 additional ones for virtual machines.
How can I assign one of the free Ip addresses to a specific virtual machine?
I tried making a VMkernel NICs for one of the ips but was not sure as to what i was doing since im new to this.
I am using VMware Workstation on a Windows 10 machine to add a Ubuntu Server and a Windows Server VM. This is to complete a virtual networking (firewall packet filtering) exercise using GNS3. The goal is to have 3 separate networks routed using virtual CISCO routers so I really need to have the IP of machines explicitly set to simulate different networks.
All of this is fine and I can ping from the host to the machines and the machines to the host but I'd also like to somehow be able to access Internet through each of the machines.
When I use Internet Connection Sharing and specify a single virtual adapter it warns me and changes the IP range to 192.168.137.x which is not desirable. When I want to use ICS for both VMs I create a bridged connection and apply ICS to that but again it changes my IP settings.
Is there a way I can share my hosts Internet Connection with each of the machines but keep the IP addresses and ranges I require?
Or, do I have to approach this a completely different way?
BTW, I'm using the Network Adapter type of 'Host Only' rather than Bridged or NAT as I cannot explicitly set IP addresses on those options.
I was overthinking it.
Using VMware I simply had to add an additional device Network Adapter (under VM > Settings) with a type of NAT to enable the VM to share my host's Internet. Of course, the existing interfaces (with the explicitly set IPs) were kept in place so it did not affect my virtual networking environment.
In my setup, I have a virtual machine in VMWare for development purposes using a bridged adapter. I can connect to it from another computer, but not from the host machine. My host is located at 192.168.1.16 and the guest is 192.168.1.10. Both can connect to the internet, but not to eachother. Upon pinging one IP from the other, I get a Request timed out from my host (Windows 10) and Destination Host Unreachable from the guest (Ubuntu Server 16.04.1). Is this a limitation of the bridged connector? Or is there some config that I have missed in making this happen?
EDIT: I am connected to my router using an ethernet cable, and the network is listed as a 'private' one
Can you connect to your host computer from the other (Non-VM) computer?
This sounds to me like your host computer is blocking incoming and outgoing pings which is probably a firewall issue. Try ensuring that you're on a "private" network instead of a "public" network.
The best way to check is by going to the Network and Sharing Center and looking for your bridged adapter. If it says Private network (or Domain network) That's not your problem. If it says Public network, you'll have to change it.
The easiest way to change it is to make sure that's the only network you're connected to and go to "Network" (Just type it in the address bar of any explorer window) A yellow bar will drop down telling you that you're not allowing file sharing on public networks. Click on it and you can get a box that lets you either share files on public networks (NO!!!) or change the network you're connected to, to a private network. (Yes!)
Hope that fixes your problem!
I need to access the internet and a completely separate private network from a single Windows 7 computer. Each network is connected to my computer with its own network interface card.
The private network uses the '10.0.0.0' address space and provides its own DNS services. This network is not connected to the Internet and I do not want to connect it to the Internet in a way, other than being able to access both from my computer.
Basic routing is not that big deal. The problem is that no one wants to have to deal with IP addresses to get everywhere.
My default gateway points to the Internet and the default gateway is blank on the network interface for my private network.
My DNS server points to the Internet.
The show stopper at this point is figuring out a way to have my system use the DNS server on my private network for the DNS suffix used on my private network and still allow everything else to go out on the Internet.
Is there any way to make this work?

In the properties of the network interface card connected to the private LAN have you gone into the TCP properties and set a search domain and DNS server under the DNS tab? If you only need to hit a few hosts on the private LAN host file entries are also an option.
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.
