VMware Workstation win xp network issues

Bridging mode: With the bridging mode, the relationship between the virtual machine and the real host is like two computers connected to the same hub, and if you want them to communicate, you need to configure the IP address and subnet mask for both parties.

There is not much difference between the host only mode and the bridging mode, and the host only mode will provide the IP, gateway, and DNS by the DHCP server of VMNet 1.

The main advantage of NAT mode is that it can hide the topology of the virtual machine and is very convenient when accessing the Internet. NAT mode is provided by the DHCP Server of VMNet 8 for IP, Gateway, DNS

If not to do ghost. The fastest and most convenient is. Open the VM and click on the toolbar :::VM - Snapshot - Create Snapshot from the current state.

Something went wrong later. You can restore the snapshot.

1. Use Manage Virtual Networks to turn off all the original redundant functions such as DHCP (in short, you can turn off whatever you see, but don't delete the network card), and create another network card "......vmnet2", so that you have three network cards.

2. Change the NIC of your virtual machine to the first item (bridging).

After doing the above two steps, your virtual machine will have an independent network card, which is in the same position as your real machine in a local network, if your real machine is in the local network, your virtual machine is also in the local network, at this time, you assign IP to your virtual machine according to your local network, then, your virtual machine should be able to ping other machines (including local real machines) normally.

Next is the problem of Internet access, if your real machine is on the local network, then your virtual machine is also on the local network, after setting up the local network IP of the virtual machine, it will be handled according to the method of the real machine Internet access, and the virtual machine can be set up as if it were a real machine. If your real machine is a stand-alone machine, then look down.

3. Use Win's built-in ADSL dialing function (it is not recommended to install another dialing software, note, it can only be WinXP Win2003, if not, then install it), correctly build ADSL dialing, and dial the Internet, to ensure the success of the real machine.

4. Right-click on the network neighbor-" attribute, enter the network neighbor settings, find the adsl dial number, right-click it -" attribute, open its Internet sharing after entering, and the shared network is "......vmnet2。When you're done, your "......vmnet2" will be set to .

5. Change the network card of your virtual machine to the first item (bridging). Start the virtual machine, enter the network settings, set the IP of the virtual machine to Note, if your machine also has dual network cards, it is also in the local network, to ensure that it is not occupied by other computers on the network, if occupied, replace the last bit with something else).

6. In the virtual machine, run "cmd" or "command" (under win9x), bring up the dos window, and use "ping" to test whether it is connected to the host normally, if it is connected, then you are half successful.

7. After the success of the previous step, now your virtual machine has successfully entered the network, the next thing is much simpler, you just need to set the gateway of the virtual machine as, and then set the DNS to if win9x, you are required to fill in the host name, you can fill it indiscriminately, it doesn't play any role), and then go to the "Internet Options" in the "Internet Options", "Connection" page in the "LAN settings" in the "Auto-detect settings" item to go. Your virtual machine is ready to go online.

8. Please pay great attention to the fact that the above practice opens the Internet function of your host, and your host must be equipped with a firewall (or correctly set the firewall that comes with win, it is recommended to install Skynet), otherwise, it may attract malicious seekers on the Internet to use your computer to do Internet transit (which will at least slow down your Internet speed).

Select NAT or Bridge in Network Adapter.

1. Use NAT mode, so that the virtual machine can access the Internet through the host, and some firewalls can avoid the restrictions of some firewalls on IP MAC. The disadvantage is that the IP and host are not on the same network segment. This is the default setting after the virtual machine is installed.

2. Bridge mode, so that the virtual machine can have its own IP, and the same network segment as the host should be set.

3. host-only, the network card of the virtual machine is connected to the vmnet1 of the host. By default, a virtual system can only communicate with the host computer.

To set the specific method, double-click the NIC of the virtual machine to display the selection screen.

Set the NIC to bridge mode, the IP configuration of the NIC and the host can be in the same network segment, and the DNS settings of other mask gateways can be the same as the host.

If you choose NAT as the network mode, you don't need to set anything in the virtual system, and you can connect to the network directly.

1. What happens if the virtual machine can access the Internet, but it is not in the same network as the physical machine?

Because your network adapter 2 chooses the NAT mode, this method is equivalent to the host (the physical machine you are talking about) to do the routing and accept the virtual machine's Internet access.

2. How do I set up the virtual machine and the physical machine to be on the same network?

Method 1: Set the IP address manually

Network Adapter] Select the bridging method, and after the virtual machine system is started, set the IP of the network adapter to the IP of the same network segment of the host in the network settings of the system.

Method 2: Obtain IP Address Automatically

Prerequisites: There must be a DHCP server in the network, and the DHCP service (DHCP server: can be used by a router or a host)

After the host or virtual machine is turned on, it obtains the IP address from the DHCP server, and the IP address obtained must be from the same network segment.
