Hi all,
I hope I am in the right place - or that I have not missed anything obvious related to my question!
We have 2 VM's (64bit OEL) on VMWare Player 6. Both are configured as bridged networked VMs and both have static IP addresses assigned to them from within the guest o/s.
The host is a Windows Server 2012 x64 machine. We are able to connect and ping both ways when the host is connected to our LAN, but as soon as we remove the LAN cable from our host, we cannot communicate between the VMs and the host.
My question in a nutshell: How do we demo software / services to our clients on a laptop (the host) with VMs running on an external hard drive connected to the laptop when it is not connected to any LAN? The two VMs are acting as DB and Web/App servers respectively.
I have tried the following:
1. Bridged
2. NAT
3. Host Only
None allow me to communicate between host and guest when the network cable is unplugged.
I apologise in advance if my question is completely simple - I just cannot find anything regarding hosts without a LAN connection communicating with VMs.
Regards,
Greig
