VMWare Server 1.0.4 - Windows XP Networking

Oct 20, 2007

I installed VMWare Server 1.0.4 on my dedicated server, and set-up a new Windows XP Professional VM.

I have 3 more IP's that are not used.

When installing the VM, I used NAT networking to share my main OS network with my private VPS, but basically no one can access the VM from the outside world. I can surf the net while being on NAT status in the VM, but if I try to run any service like Apache, no one can enter to the service besides the localhost.

My VPS is running Windows XP Professional SP2 with a legal retail license and my main OS on the server is CentOS 4.5 (detailed hardware is mentioned below)

Do you have any idea how can I configure my network so anyone can enter the VPS?

And please, if you can explain me step by step because I'm a real newbie hehe

Kind Regards,

VMWare Server Networking

Oct 19, 2007

Recently, I installed VMWare Server 1.0.4 on my dedicated server.

When I tried to install my private IP on my VMWare, I had no clue how to do that. I used NAT networking to share my main OS with my private VPS, but when I try to run a service that needs the port XXXX to be open, it wouldent let me use it.

For an example, my main OS IP is 82.00.000.000. My VPS is sharing the same IP address with the main OS. I tried to run an Apache service on my VPS, but when I try to access it by the IP 82.00.000.000 it gives me a connection reset page.

This also happens on other services like FTP and stuff.

My VPS is running Windows XP Professional SP2 with a legal retail license and my main OS on the server is CentOS 4.5

Networking VMWARE On 2003 @ SL

Jul 17, 2007

I really need some help with a new server I just got over at SL, I have windows 2003 and vmware server installed and I want to have 2-3 vmwares running websites each on port 80 and each having a separate external ip.

I have contacted SL and they have set me up with the vlan and extra ips I need I have enabled IP forwarding on the 2003 host but I don't know exactly how to configure the vmware server networking and each vmware to use my new ips and to make sure each external ip is pointing to each vmware.

Confused About VMWare Networking

Jan 15, 2008

I have two servers with SL- both running Windows with two NICs for Private and Public Interfaces.

What I want to do is keep the first server Internal only, so basically, just disable the Public Network interface in Windows. On this Server, I want to create a VM that can network with the server as well as the second server and any VMs on that second server.

The second server will have both the Public and Private Interfaces enabled. On this server, I will have two VMs and both of these VMs should be able to access both the host PCs, each other, as well as the VM on the first server. Additionally,t These two VMs should also be able to access the Internet.

What would be the best way of going about this configuration.

Right now, I've just started and on the first server, created a VM using a bridged connection to the Private Network. I've give the VM an IP address in the same range as the host PC that is part of the block that SL has reserved for me. However, I cannot ping the host PC from the VM and vice versa. Firewall is disabled on the VM at the moment so I know that is not the issue.

VMWare - WinXP As Guest On CENTOS - Networking

Sep 8, 2007

OKay here is the set up:

I have a CENTOS 64bit running, with 1 guest OS (WinXP) in a VMWare Server. I have tried the following: I have 6 public IP's attached to my 1 Ethernet card in the CENTOS host.

Try 1:

The Guest OS is set to use "Bridged" Networking. This allows full use of the internet, in both directions. Not exactly optimal, but it does work. I can reach the Guest via RD, which is a requirement for this client. The guest OS is mainly assigned one of the 6 public IP's (x.x.x.118). The problem with this setup is the Guest OS can not reach the host. For example the host has a mail server on it, and when the Guest tries to reach the host, it times out.

Try 2:

The Guest OS is set up to use "NAT" and gets 192.168.100.128 as its IP via DHCP inside of VMWare. The nat config file for VMWare is set to open port 3389 (RD port). Guest OS can reach the host with out any problem, and can reach the internet with out any problem, however I can not RD in to the Guest OS.

I prefer setup number 2 for all the obvious reasons, but I just can not get my IPTables rules to work. This is what I thought should work, but does not:

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -d x.x.x.118 -j DNAT --to-destination=192.168.100.128
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s 192.168.100.128 -j SNAT --to-source=x.x.x.118
I realize that would have done all traffic, and defeated the benefits of NAT,but since forwarding only 3389 was not working I tried forwarding everything.

Any suggestions?

VMware Server Under Windows Server 2003

May 12, 2007

I yesterday installed VMware Server under Windows Server 2003 x64, Enterprise Edition, and have this morning noticed the message 'Service unavailable' when browsing to a website hosted on the server under IIS. I have briefly looked into the problem and found the DefaultAppPool stopped, but after restarting it, it resets back to the stopped state when I once again browse to a hosted website.

Does anyone have any experience of this problem and a workaround?

Performace Of Windows Inside Xen & VMWare VM

Sep 16, 2008

I need several Windows VMs to test out some softwares and I plan on using virtualization technology to cut some costs.

I have a Linux(Debian Etch) dedicated server sitting to accomplish this.
Specs are Quad Core Xeon 2.13Ghz with 4GB Ram/500GB HDD.

Now if I were to choose between Xen 3.1 and VMWare Server for the virtualization technology which would provide better performance?

I tried Windows on Xen 3.1 with PV Drivers and it seemed some what slow, but I'm not sure what the case was there so I can't say which would provide better performance overall.

VMware Server

Nov 3, 2006

Does anyone here use VMware server on a dedicated server to run Windows or other OS? And in terms of IP address how would this work? Do you need to set the VM as being NATed, or does it have it's own external IP? In terms of performance on a typical 100$-200$/mo dedicated server, how good is it? All these factors depend on a lot of things and I realize that, though. (what apps run, etc)

And do server providers even allow to install something like this? I've never leased a dedicated server before but I'm thinking of getting a linux one, but also running a windows VM for a RunUO server, and unfortunately that only runs in windows. I want a linux server as I prefer LAMP for hosting, and I'd try to get a few clients on the server just so I can pay it off monthly. Also Linux servers are generally cheaper monthly and I like the idea of using SSH tunnels rather then straight RDP, which gives me chills just thinking of, from a security perspective.

VMWare Server 2.0 Help - Bridging

May 11, 2009

I am just trying the water with VMware as a virtual platform to give some friends some freedom in hosting and cut down on the cpanel cost with vps

I installed vmware on my centos5 distribution, and used the default values vmnet0 is bridged to eth0.

I have multiple ips to the host server eth0 to eth0:7 i think, how do i create a bridge or assign an ip only for that one vps to use.

create another bridge for eth0:7? then manually enter the ip info in the guest and bam?

How To Add An IP In VMWare Server 2? Add On The VPS Directly Or First On The Host?

May 2, 2009

I have configured and install VMWare Server on my server and currently trying to install Plesk. I have gotten the network working so I can download.

I want to give the VMWare Virtual Machine it's own IP so I can connect via PuTTY instead of the console, which e.g. does not let me paste url's (plesk download url is long).

I am planning to host a few websites on the Plesk Virtual Machine. I have added the IP my network provider given me using 'setup' in CentOS and it's listed in /sbin/ifconfig, but does not work yet.

Do I first need to add the ip to the host server self? Or can a VPS directly use an ip?

(PS: Do I use too many hard breaks in my texts?)

Does VT Improve The Performance Of VMWare Server

May 4, 2009

The newer Pentium 4 3.0 GHz processors had so called 'VT'-support. That's something every regular processor has nowadays.

I currently run a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz server without VT. Will there be a drastic performance boost if I use a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz with VT?

What is VT anyways? I only know that Xen requires it if you wish to host a Windows Virtual Machine on a Xen Linux Server.

VMware Server On A Win 2003 Dedicated Machine

Our company website runs on a Win 2003 server with ASP.

Now we also want to run some new PHP applications (e.g. MediaWiki). I think of running them in a (Linux) virtual machine on the Win 2003 server, to keep everything separated.

Does anybody else use VMware to split his dedicated server in several parts? It sounds like a good idea to me, but can not find much information about it. Or are there better alternatives?

Networking Infrastructure

Nov 20, 2008

I am currently looking for a managed hosting solution for a small start-up.

The site will have a repository of articles in it, these will initially solely consist of documents (av. 2mb in size) and (based on performance) may be expanded to containing video/audio, however this is not likely to happen within (at least) the next six months.

The site will be running on a Linux server (we will not be considering any Microsoft products), using PHP 5 and MySQL 5. There will be a registration form and users will (based on performance) eventually be able to upload articles to the site.

We have contacted various hosting providers (am in talks with Rackspace, Rochen and Network Redux) and have had everything from SAN to a 500GB (RAID 1) recommended to us.

As the site is still currently in Beta with nothing in it and proposed launch date is March 09, I would be grateful if anyone who was in a similar position could inform me how their infrastructure evolved as the site demanded more resource.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to read my query.

I was asked if you had two nics on one server each connected to a seperate switch with different IPs and subnets what possible problems could arise?

Note I am curious about this I do not plan on leanring more about networking then curiosity which this is.

How To Setup Networking For KVM Guests

Oct 29, 2009

I have a server with CentOS 5.4 with 5 IPs. Now i want to spare 1 IP for the host, and create 4 virtual machines, each with 1 dedicated IP and has direct access to internet (virtual machines created with KVM come with NAT as default)

Anyone can point me to a tutorial or tell me how to setup networking for this ? Working over GUI is not possible since i only have ssh access and don't want to install X just to install things. Is it possible to use Xen networking scripts for KVM guests ? I have tested Xen on my server and its default networking setting worked ie with guests have direct connection to internet.
