I've been banging my head against the wall for nearly a week now, trying to get external access to my VMware LAN. Let me start out by explaining what I have.
First, I am running VMware Server 2.0.2 on a Windows Server 2008 box with a USB wireless adapter. Firewall is turned off. I have two guest servers:
DC1 has one virtual NIC (host-only on vmnet1) in a WIndows Server 2008 machine. It is a domain controller with AD integrated DNS. Firewall is turned off. TCP/IP is configured like this:
IP Address: 192.168.91.51
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
GW: 192.168.91.53
DNS: 127.0.0.1
RRAS has two virtual NICs (NIC1 is host-only on vmnet1 and NIC2 is bridged on vmnet0). It is a member server with RRAS installed, configured as a LAN router only. Firewall is turned off. TCP/IP is like this:
NIC1
IP Address: 192.168.91.53
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
GW:
DNS: 192.168.91.51
NIC2
IP Address: 192.168.254.107 (DHCP)
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
GW: 192.168.254.1
DHCP Server: 192.168.254.1
DNS: Provided by ISP
Now for the symptoms:
DC1 can ping both RRAS NICs, but cannot ping anything past it, nor can it ping the gateway (192.168.254.1). RRAS has full communication to the internet and all computers on the 192.168.254.0 network.
Since I've been hacking away at this problem for a while, I'm obviously missing something. The first step to troubleshooting is to verify all the facts (Trust, but verify <-- my favorite Ronald Reagan quote), so feel free to ask anything, even if it seems trivial.
Thanks for your help
