I've not got my thinking head on today and need a little help

I have my current network 191.168.10.x and my router is 254, so i want my vm network as 192.168.99.x and i want the vms to be able to access the internet via the router

Can someone remind me what network mode the VMs should be in and if anyone knows about static routes on draytek 2800's that would be handy as im trying to get my 2003 web ed server online atm

Thanks

Andy

 

ok, changed the IP for the vm server to 191.168.11.4, made sure the gateway and dns is set to 191.168.10.254 and set a static route on the router pointing the 191.168.11.x network to 191.168.10.254 and it still doesn't work

Im thinking vmware isnt set right, but i have a feeling im about to mess up networking all togther...

Help

 

I could, but i use the router for DHCP and i want to add a DC at some point within the same network...

 

I've now set it to bridged and using the same network 191.168.10.4 it connects to the internet fine, but when i put it back to 191.168.11.4 it doesn't work, which would suggest the draytek static route isnt right..

 

Im beginning to think its either the static route on the draytek not working (i did this previously ok with a linksys) or Vista is preventing the network traffic being on a different network..

Any suggestions on the network setup?

Router is 192.168.99.254
My PC (Vista) 192.168.99.53
VMWARE - 2003 Web Server - 192.168.98.4 - Bridged Mode
DNS and Gateway set to 192.168.99.254

Route on Draytek set for 192.168.98.0 network to route to 192.168.99.254

 

I could be wrong, but I think you are lacking a static route from the VM server to the router. The router has a path to the server, but not the other way round. That's the way it looks to me from your description.

Try adding a static route into the routing table on the server, and see if that works?

edit: what Sparky said about adding another nic to the server then routing between them sounds like a plan also.

 

Thanks guys, finally figured it out

Set up nat on vmware with its own gateway ip and then changed the static route on the draytek and all is well.

The VM is configured with

192.168.98.4
255.255.255.0
192.168.98.254
192.168.98.254

set up nat in vmware for 192.168.98.254 and on the draytek, created a route for 192.168.98.254 to 192.168.99.254

 

Looks like i spoke to soon

Installed SP2 and rebooted the VM and it can no longer access the internet again..

The virtual adapter it creates in windows, what ip setup should that have?
