This should grant your guest VM access to the internet (through 172.241.0.2), and also communicate with your host ( 172.241.0.100). So in your case, your /etc/network/interfaces should read: auto eth0 (The host VMnet8 adapter is merely another device connected to the network, to allow the host to communicate with the VM.) This virtual switch we're talking about gets the. The default gateway, when using NAT, is not the IP of the host, it's the IP of a "virtual switch" that's connected to the NAT network. You got part of the configuration right, however, your problem should be in the default gateway that you assigned to the guest. Your solutions and other advice will be much appreciated.įirst of all, yes, you won't be able to use a bridged network connection because all of the guests will have the same hostname, so you'll have to go with NAT. However, in case of several VM's with the same hostname and their hosts connected to the same network that will be problematic, won't it? Now, I think I can use the bridged network connection option with DHCP and that will give me what I need in case of one VM (I did not try it in this case, but I remember doing it previously). (I also can't access the guest via its hostname, but that's not crucial here since if push comes to shove I can use its address directly - as long as it is the same for everybody - and not the name).
I can also ping and telnet from the guest to 172.241.0.100 (the host), but that's about it - there is no connection to the wider network. Now, I can ping 172.241.0.101 and telnet to it from the host. (172.241.0.100 is the address assigned statically to the host by VMWare Network VMNet8 Adapter - that's the NAT adapter above). I then tried assigning a static address to the guest: auto eth0 ping Workshop does not work if I use the address returned by ifconfig it does not work either from the host). However, I am unable to connect to the guest from the host at all. That works as far as connecting to the internet is concerned. Tried to connect the guest via DHCP, in /etc/network/interfaces: auto eth0
ping Workshop would ping the guest that is running on that host and not any other clone)
The host system must be able to access its respective guest via that name (e.g.All the clones should have the same hostname (let's say Workshop to be concrete).The guest has to have access to the internet.I am trying - and so far failing - to setup networking to satisfy the following requirements: That virtual machine will be cloned, distributed among several people (running Windows hosts) and used for conducting a programming workshop. I have a Windows host that runs guest Ubuntu VM via vmplayer.
