Vmware server on Server 2008 and Ubuntu Server
Hello,
I have a problem with my setup. I have 2 Network Cards on Server 2008 machine which is a Host machine. I have installed Ubuntu server but I want to bridge its network to the physical network card number 2 on my Host Machine (server 2008). I would like to ping the static ip of the assigned network card 2 on Server 2008 which would act as if am pinging the static IP on ubuntu. So how do I accomplish that. Technical part: Windows Server 2008 as Host: 2 NICS. NIC 1 has the network of 192.168.X.X. NIC 2 has the network address of 193.188.Y.Y. Both networks can Ping each other. I want Ubuntu Server the Guest to has the NIC 2 address. I tried bridging and Host only and Natting didn't work in the Vmware's network manager. But I believe I have bad configuration in the vmware network manager. Anyone could help me on this. I want Ubuntu to get the ip of NIC 2 and act part of the 193.188.Y.Y Network. I installed the vmware-tools from ubuntu open-vmware-tools and it loaded vmxnet into the modules but running ifconfig -a doesn't display the vmxnet it displays on eth0. I want eth0 to be pointed to NIC 2 on Server 2008 so it can find its way to the LAN. Here is my lsmod output: Quote:
I want it to display the virtual networks which I could pinpoint it to the birdged physical network. Any ideas? Dpkg-query shows: ii open-vm-modules-2.6.31-14-generic-pae 2009.07.22-179896-2+2.6.31-14.48 open-vm modules for Linux (kernel 2.6.31-14- ii open-vm-source 2009.07.22-179896-2 Source for VMware guest systems driver ii open-vm-tools 2009.07.22-179896-2 tools and components for VMware guest system Any ideas why I can't configure eth0 to point it to the physical network address of the Host?

you're contradicting yourself here, first you say you want to bridge, but then say you want the 2nd windows nic to map to the ubuntu machine. Well that second one is not bridging, it's (a specific version of) a NAT interface, which surely isn't really what you want. The rest of your description backs up you wanting bridging, but in that scenario, the ubuntu box would have it's own IP that the 2k8 machine would be totally oblivious to. Bridging makes the host nic function as a switch, so at ethernet level, not IP level - i.e. no IP addresses are involved at all.
So you don't have a problem with your setup, you have a problem with your understanding of the setup ;-) |
