What am i doing wrong? The host has a static ip address in it, I have another address available one digit away. I test the ip by pinging it (make sure it is available) then I program it into the host. Ping it from another PC so I know it works.
Ok So then I remove the firewall software from the host pc and the extra static ip I had just asigned (I still have one left programmed in it) And Then I put the VMWare in bridged mode (centos)
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=
IPADDR=a.b.c.d
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=a.b.c.1
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
The OS knows the ip is programmed as I can ping ping it from within the vm and the loopback.
Also in NAT mode the system works fine.
I would like the VM on its own address since on the other address on the port pc I also have a web app and I plan to have a web app on the vm that I want to have accessible to the outside world.
If I forgot some info please let me know
Thank you
