No internet acces on Virtual Machine

[jordyvc]

Hey,

I have a problem, I don't have internet access on my virtual machine. I tried to install Ubuntu as guest OS on it, but I don't have an internet connection..

Does someone knows a solution how to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Jordy.

Firstly you would need to check the network label for the network adapter and the VM Network port group has a proper uplink (vmnic) from the host so that, it makes an external connection.

Hello,

What is the adapter type you using,.? e1000 or vmxnet3.? try changing the adapter type and update your VMware tools or consider re-installing the VMware tools.

Thanks,

Stupid question perhaps, but is the vNIC connected?

Also, did you configure a static IP or is DHCP available on the network?

[jordyvc]

I'm using E1000.

And tomtom910, yes I did that.

jonathanjabez, I will read the documentation, thanks!

And did you configure a static IP? I see your ESXi host's VMkernel port is a public IP, and I can ping it, so the network connectivity seems fine. E1000 should pop up onder most OS'es without the need for drivers.

[jordyvc]

I did not configure a static IP, do I have to do that?

[tomtom901]

Unless there is DHCP available on the netwerk, yes. Your VM and your ESXi host share the same uplink, but they are both devices on the netwerk, and therefore need seperate IP addresses. You can't share the IP address of the ESXi host.

I have the following IP's from my hoster:

208.110.73.66/70, actually I want that the virtual machine gets IP 208.110.73.67. How can I do that?

[tomtom901 · Accepted solution]

Go into the network settings of the Ubuntu VM and configure the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS servers. Then you should have internet access.

It's working, thanks to everyone who helped!
