can't bridge two subnets

[nicostraub]

maybe I'm doing this wrong but I'm trying to get a vm - which has it's own routable IP - to communicate to the internet. The network ocnsists of two segments: one with one IP address and a gateway (A) and another with 6 ips and no gateway (B). my network adapter has an IP on both segments and my vm has the default gateway set to my nics IP. routing is enabled via the registry hack IPEnableRouter. when I try to ping outside it won't go past my nic's address on segment A (it reaches A's IP but not A's gateway). If I connect through NAT it works but I can't seem to find the config that will allow me to connect transparently to the vm. Please someone help me I've been all weekend banging my head against the wall :S

Thanks!

please post a screenshot of vmnetcfg.exe

also read http://sanbarrow.com/vmx/vmx-network.html

especially the section on how to configure custom network - you need that if you use more then one bridged network

I need only one bridge

Thanks!

the screenshot looks fine to me

I have a hunch that you think this is way more complicated then it actually is.

I never had to setup routing to give my VMs with bridged network access to the internet.

Maybe we see what is wrong if you post ipconfig /all from host and guest

It seems fine to me too, since I can reach the server's IP no problem but not the server's gateway IP, I'm thinking the problem is in windows, 'cause if the bridge weren't working I wouldn't be able to reach the servers IP.

Thanks!

Posting edited ipconfig/ifconfig output is just about worthless and is of little or no diagnostic value whatsoever.

Anyway hope it's not to cold in Montreal.

I'm in chile 😃

Anyway I don't see why you say that, but I'll post the original code in the morning (it's 2 am over here)

Regards!

I said Montreal because the 184.107.11.240 IP Address you have set on VMnet8 in the image you attached is allocated to iWeb Technologies Inc. in Montreal CA.

Anyway I don't see why you say that,

Because it is incomplete information and makes it harder to see the whole picture more easily and clearly.

In the end I added a static route to the gateway from the first subnet and now it works! =D

Hola Nicostraub, acabo de comenzar con iWeb, tengo instalado el VMWare en el servidor con la IP pública principal, y para las Virtuales las IP secundarias, pero luego de seguir el procedimiento http://forum.iweb.com/vmware-opcion-bridged-configuracion-de-ips-adicionales-t3508.html no hay conexión de las virtuales hacia internet ni de internet hacia las virtuales. Has podido solucionar este inconveniente? agradecería mucho la ayuda,
