Hello,
I am having problems accessing my client OS from external machines but the client OS can access external machines without problems. Here is my setup info:
1. I am running a Windows XP Pro host OS and a Fedora Core 6 guest OS downloaded from:
http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/604
2. My Host WinXP has an ethernet interface with IP 10.1.1.100 and sits on a 10.1.1.x network with other Windows/Unix machines.
VMWare assigned two additional interfaces to my host WinXP :
vmnet1 192.168.139.1
vmnet2 192.168.190.1
3. I used the default setup and ran VMWare Player and started up the guest OS and ran without glitches. The client FC6 was assigned the address
192.168.190.128
Here is a small sketch of the network setup to explain the issue:
-
10.1.1.20
\|
\|
\|-\{(10.1.1.10,192.168.139.1, 192.168.190.1)-192.168.190.128(FC6)}
10.1.1.20 is the external machine
10.1.1.10, 192.168.139.1, 192.168.190.1 are interfaces on the WinXP Pro HOST
192.168.190.128 is the guest Fedora Core 6 OS running within the WinXP Pro
4. Without having to make any changes, the FC6 client can go out on the network, access \*any* machine on the 10.1.1.x network (ssh, etc.) as well as go out from that network to the internet.
5. My WinXP host OS can access anything on the 192.168.190.128 client FC6 - I can ssh in, access a http server etc.
6. If I try to access the client FC6 from any other machine on the 10.1.1.x network such as 10.1.1.20, I am unable to do so.
7. I tried adding routes to my 10.1.1.20 machine to try and get to the machine as follows:
route add 192.168.190.1 10.1.1.10
route add 192.168.139.1 10.1.1.10
and also added routes to my 10.1.1.10 Host XPPro machine
but none of these worked.
8. I shut off the firewall on both the host os and the guest os but that did not help
Can anyone give any suggestions on how to fix it - do I need to check on nat/bridged, add routes, etc. or is this not possible at all?
This may be a very basic issue such as having to tell the XP Pro machine to forward packets to the client FC6, etc. but I do not know what to do at this point. I will greatly appreciate any help on this matter.
