 Posted: Tue Jan 23, 2007 10:20 am Post subject: vmware + wireless bridged network |
 |
|
I have a strange issue with vmware, perhaps somebody can help me fix this.
Situation:
D-Link DI-524 wireless router (DHCP + using MAC-filter)
Laptop (Gentoo + WinXP dualboot) on wired ethernet
PC (Gentoo) on wireless ethernet (using WPA2PSK + AES)
VM-Ware on PC (Win2000) using bridged ethernet
No firewalls on all of them to not further complicate things yet.
To get this vmware-internet working I had to change the line | Code: | | answer VNET_0_INTERFACE eth0 |
in /etc/vmware/locations into | Code: | | answer VNET_0_INTERFACE ra0 |
ra0 is my wireless device on the PC
VM-Ware boots the virtual Win2000 and gets an ip-adress assigned, but using the internet is not possible.
To find out what sort of communication is possible I tried to ping between all of them, leaving this result:
from PC to vmware = OK
from PC to router = OK
from PC to laptop = OK
this confirms that my wireless card is working fine
from vmware to PC = OK
from vmware to router = Timeout
from vmware to laptop = Timeout
It looks like communication between vmware and the router is blocked for some reason, but the DHCP-lease is visible and the MAC-adress is allowed.
help!!!!!

The more important ping probe between laptop and vmware is missing. Maybe it's not the router but all other Machines in your network that are not reachable by your vmware. if you really use bridged and not nat'ed network that should not happen.
OT: portable laptop cabled and stationary PC per wireless... lol

it's definately bridged, because vm-ware gets it's IP-adress assigned by the router:

OT: I know it's unusual, but where I take my laptop (when I bought it, it came without PCMCIA-card), there's no wireless internet, and the lady (PC-owner) doesn't like cables

Sorry, I can't help you with this. I had a similar problem with nat'ed VM. i forgot to enable routing at the host PC, but that shouldn't be necessary here.
If this are your real MACs, I would at least unsharpen them

"choose between 'beautiful' and 'functional'" -> "oh, I take the beautiful one" 
It's the same thing at the main station in berlin, it's (only) beautiful... (Maybe you heared in NL, it's blown away last storm even there the storm wasn't as hard as some normal wind at den haag )

Notice the fact that she wants Gentoo instead of WinXP, vmware + win2000 is only there to run one program which is not ported to linux. They should have kept the decency and proven succes of Friedrichstrasse for example when building the HBF

| This may not help at all, but when I installed vmware-server on my Gentoo laptop here, it connected wlan0 -> vmnet0 and eth0 -> vmnet2. When I'm on the wired connection, I have to tell the virtual machine to use vmnet2 before booting, or it won't work. Once it worked I didn't dig further, so I dunno why "bridged" won't work regardless of which interface is active. |
