Hello,
I'm running VMware server 2 on Windows 7 (x64) OS. My guest OS is a fresly installed Windows XP SP2 (x86) with VMware tools on it. My problem is that I cannot access the internet or any other services through the network however the guest OS is connected properly (on NAT).
I cannot use Bridged connections because of the type of my network here.
Main OS (Win 7) | Guest OS (Win XP) | ||
Ethernet card: | |||
IP: | 10.0.0.117 | ||
Subnet mask: | 255.255.0.0 | ||
Def. gateway: | 10.0.0.1 | ||
DHCP server: | 10.0.0.1 | ||
DNS server: | 193.6.40.2 | ||
VMware NAT: | Fake ethernet card: | ||
IP: | 192.168.11.1 | IP: | 192.168.11.142 |
Subnet mask: | 255.255.255.0 | Subnet mask: | 255.255.255.0 |
Def. gateway: | <none> | Def. gateway: | 192.168.11.2 |
DHCP server: | <disabled> | DHCP server: | <disabled> |
DNS server: | <none> | DNS server: | 192.168.11.2 |
NetBIOS over TCPIP: | <enabled> | ||
WINS: | 192.168.11.2 |
I can:
(on guest) ping any internet domain name (google.com, yahoo.com, etc...) -> DNS server works
(on guest) ping 192.168.11.2 gateway (this is VMware's stuff)
(on guest) ping 10.0.0.1 gateway (this is the original net)
I can't:
(on guest) open webpages in browser
(on guest) use FTP connection
(on guest) use any other thing that requires some kind of internet connection
(on guest) ping 10.0.0.117, the main OS's ip adress on the real network
I have:
firewall disabled on both main and guest OS
(on main) to use proxy (port 3128) to connect to HTTP
My network looks like this:
---> http://main server (10.0.0.1) with MAC filter ---> thats why bridge connection is not an option. Only one MAC allowed adress allowed. And no, I cannot add more MACs since its a university network.
Can it be some kind of security setting of Windows 7?
How can make this this stuff to work? Im sitting here for 4 hours now.
Thanks in advance
