![]() ![]() \* I DO NOT want other people to access that machine \* I want to be able to pull up the websites on that linux vm from my mac \* I want to be able to edit those files from my Mac \* VMWare Fusion has a vm running a flavor of linux ![]() \* I have VMWare Fusion running under OS X 10.4.10 (FWIW OS X was installed on a freshly formatted drive It seems to be broken pretty completely under the release version. This was working (for me) under the final two betas. PS: My personal guess is that this is a bug in Fusion. Eventhough a new network interface exists which is on the same subnet as the guest OS. If you ping your guest OS from Mac OS X, you get an answer: network not reachable. However, if you take Mac OS X instead of Linux, and you use VMware Fusion instead of VMware Player (or Server), it is not working. Now, if you use Windows XP instead of Linux, this is also working. This is because VMware has created a new network interface which is on the same subnet as the guest OS. From Linux, you can ping the guest OS, so if you perform the command 'ping 192.168.1.128' you get a ping back. The IP address of FreeBSD (guest) is 192.168.1.128 and the one of Linux (host) is 192.168.0.1. You are under Linux, you create a VM which will host another OS (let's say FreeBSD), you start this new VM and you check its network connectivity. Unless, the host is Mac OS X and the VM manager is VMware Fusion. If one starts a VM, which can access the network, it is possible to ping the VM from the host OS. I want to add another example to help understanding the problem. By local, it is meant the loopback device. The problem is on the Mac OS X platform, where the host cannot communicate through the local network with the guest. So NAT is a correct configuration (a proof is that it is working when the host is Windows XP or Linux). The configuration is similar on Mac OS X, though the network interfaces are baring different names. A request from the host to the gust does not go via the NAT. The NAT operates between the eth0 and vmnet8 interface. So the host and guest OS can communicate even if they are using the NAT configuration of VMware. The eth0 has access to the external network, and the vmnet8 usually has the same subnet as the VM. On Linux, when it is used as a host, I have eth0 (the default network interface) and I have the vmnet8 and vmnet1 for the VMs. You are right, but I'm not trying to access the VM network service from the external network! I'm trying to access it from the host system. How can I access the network service of my guest OS from Mac OS? Is it not yet implemented in VMware Fusion? In addition, if I ping the IP of the guest I get an error "network is down".įor information : The network is configured in the vmware virtual machine as NAT. However, if I type the IP address of the guest OS in Camino, nothing happen! On Safari, I'm notify that it cannot connect to the IP address. I can access Internet from my guest, and all services are properly running. On Mac OS, I have installed VMware Fusion, and I can run my guest OS (Ubuntu Linux Server Edition). This is also working when the host is Windows XP with VMware Player installed. The IP of the guest is usually 192.168.1.128, and if I type that in Firefox on the host, I can view my web site. Guest (loaded inside the VM): Ubuntu Linux Server Edition with my web site installed Host: Ubuntu Linux with VMware Player and Firefox installed By using this IP address from the host system, I am able to access the web site which is installed on the guest system (my LAMP installation). Usually, I start the virtual machine and once the guest OS is ready I check its IP address. I'm using this configuration to work on my web site where ever I am. ![]() More details: I have a small Linux server (LAMP) with my development web site (personal one). If a network service is running on the guest OS (here Linux on VMware Fusion) and I'm trying to access it from the host (here Mac OS), it is not reachable. I cannot access the "network" of my guest OS from my host OS. ![]()
