How to assign public IP to vmware guest

$

Hi, we are running dedicated server with CentOS. We installed VMware in

order to run a win2003 server. the problem is we need to access that

server from outside (public).  I contacted the Hosting company support and this is what they say:

 

 

"dedicated server environments use STATIC ips and there is no DHCP

server like he is talking about. If vmware cannot assign a static IP to

your guest then it's just not going to work. But I still think your

main issue is the lack of a network interface in the guest.......eitehr

way this is way beyond anything I am able to support at this point.

Asking forums for help probably won't work, you'll need to talk to real

tech support."

 

 

Below is my configuration:  (thanks in advance)

 

 

1. Configuration:

guest.commands.enabledonhost = "TRUE"

vmnet1.hostonlyaddress = "192.168.252.1"

authd.client.port = "902"

authd.proxy.nfc = "vmware-hostd:ha-nfc"

loop.fullpath = "/usr/bin/vmware-loop"

guest.commands.anonguestpasswordonhost = ""

product.buildnumber = "122956"

vmnet1.hostonlynetmask = "255.255.255.0"

authd.proxy.vim = "vmware-hostd:hostd-vmdb"

bindir = "/usr/bin"

dhcpd.fullpath = "/usr/bin/vmnet-dhcpd"

guest.commands.anonguestusernameonhost = ""

control.fullpath = "/usr/bin/vmware-cmd"

product.version = "2.0.0"

authd.fullpath = "/usr/sbin/vmware-authd"

guest.commands.allowanonrootguestcommandsonhost = "FALSE"

vmware.fullpath = "/usr/bin/vmware"

libdir = "/usr/lib/vmware"

guest.commands.allowanonguestcommandsonhost = "FALSE"

vmdir = "/home/cocotuc/vm"

authd.soapserver = "TRUE"

product.name = "VMware Server"

 

2. Troubleshooting steps:

tried to use NAT, bridged and host-only

tried to statically assigning the eth1 IP to the virtual machine and not able to access the outside world

i'm able to ping anything when the vmware machine is 192.168.252.1

 

3. Not sure where/what to find 'diagnostic output'

4. Not sure where/what to find 'logging'

5. We are using:

VMware Infrastructure Web Access

Version 2.0.0

Build 122589

 

VMware Server

Version 2.0.0

Build 122956
