I have been facing an issue with VMware which is unable to ping host machine from Guest Machin, but I'm able to ping guest machine from host machine.
Note: Here one more interesting matter is I could able to ping my host machine from guest machine with NAT network, but I couldn't ping my guest machine from host machine.
Your question is not clear at all.
In any case, you might wish yo specify what OS you are using in both nodes.
Firewall issues? You could try to disable Windows firewall for instance and locate where is the issue.
Could you give some basic data of the IP address of both nodes when the set up is in bridge mode?
Instead of disabling the firewall. Enable Rule "File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In)" from Inbound Rules on both Host and the VMWare Workstation. In some host machines or VMWare Workstation you may find multiple Rules with the same name "File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In)", make sure you enable all.

I am trying to use a Virtual Box VM to create a development environment I can share with a few dozen other developers. We are all on an internal network and need to connect to external web sites via proxy server. On the VM (guest) I am putting:
windows 10 64 bit
weblogic server
Several other dev tools
My requirements are:
From the guest OS I need to be able to hit the internet (ie google.com)
From the guest OS I also need to be able to open chrome and hit the server webpages running on the guest OS using mysite.com:8007/index.html.
I have modified the guest OS host file such that 127.0.0.1 maps to mysite.com. Ideally that should mean anything going to mysite.com will get resolved to 127.0.0.1.
Our proxy to reach the internet is http-proxy.mysite.com:80. I am able to connect to the internet (pages like www.google.com) as long as I enable the proxy (http-proxy.mysite.com:80) in chrome proxy settings. However I need to be able to enter mysite.com:8007/index.html in the browser and be able to load the homepage. I am able to hit the server using localhost:8007 but I need mysite.com:8007 to work since authentication cookies wont get passed correctly to localhost:8007 urls.
When I enter mysite.com:8007/index.html in chrome it keeps trying to redirect to the IP address of the host OS 10 . * . * . * and the server is not running on the Host OS.
When I enter 'curl mysite.com:8007/index.html' in a command prompt on the guest OS it actually does prints the correct response from my server (no idea why chrome is different / not respecting the host file config).
Any idea how to configure Virtual Box or chrome such that the external pages as well as the guest server pages work?
For internet access on VM, you need to configure network card as BRIDGE, NAT or NAT NETWORK. In your case NAT NETWORK will be better solution, because this will allow you bo be you VM visible in network, just like your Host.
If you have and Internal network you mus have also another card configured for VM for internal network.
To be your VM accessible from Internal Network via http... the coomputers in network have to setup DNS entry pointing to your VM.
Target Goal: Be able to ping my VM which has a bunch of SOAP calls at localhost:1337/service.asmx
Current VM Settings: Set to Bridged with Replicate Physical Network Connection State enabled.
Known issues:
I cant hit the internet at all from within the VM. test via cnn.com fails.
I can hit localhost:1337 from within the VM
I cant hit VM localhost from the host computer.
What sort of adjustments am I going to need to make in order to open up my VM of MS Server 2012 R2 to the network for testing?
Since I set up a custom port: 1337 there was actually a firewall issue.
On the VM, set it back to NAT from Bridged (in the adapter settings)
On the Windows Virtual Machine, go into Firewall Settings.
Go into Inbound Rules.
Add New Rule for the defined port.
save it.
Now the host can access via that port the page i created.
I have 2 devices on the same network and I want to communicate via TCP on the same network. Device 1 is a computer running a Debian OS on virtualbox, and another is an android tablet. Interesting enough, my tablet acts as a server no problem via an app. Any other device on the same network can connect to the tablet. The computer on the other hand is not so cooperative. Running netcat -l -p 6667 on my computer should allow incoming connections to communicate with my computer via TCP on port 6667, but this is not the case. Netcat opens a socket but I can't connect to it in anyway. Is there an underlying reason as to why this does not work? All device are under the same router. I have disabled firewall on my computer as well.
From your information, i would say your problem is you need to set up port forward.
VirtualBox and VMware both create virtual machines with the NAT network type by default. If you want to run server software inside a virtual machine, you’ll need to change its network type or forward ports through the virtual NAT.
here is a guide that will show you how to Forward ports to virtual machine
I am hosting a Oracle Linux 6.5 OS using VMWare on my windows 7 laptop. The VM is configured to use NAT networking configuration, and I am able to ping the guest OS successfully from my windows machine. Also, I am able to access internet from within my guest OS.
However, I am unable to access a web application running on port 8080 on a web server hosted within the guest OS using a browser in my host OS. The application is however accessible when accessed from a browser within the guest OS.
Some observations that may be of some use:
1. Neither my laptop, nor the VM have a static IP address.
2. I am able to ping my guest OS from host, and vice versa
3. Firewalls are disabled on both my laptop as well as the guest OS
Any help would be highly appreciated
The reason for the above issue could be mostly because of firewall settings/rules enabled in guest OS OEL. To check the rules you can type iptables -L -n at bash prompt which will display FILTER rules (CHAIN INPUT/OUTPUT/FORWARD).
Adding filters to allow the host to access guest http protocol would make things work. On the other hand, if this is for developmental purposes you can completely disable the firewall filter by saying
service iptables stop. Keep in mind that this is not a safe approach as it exposes your guest to the world without a firewall especially if you are using a bridged network connection.
I am running a web server in my Windows 7 guest OS, while I want to access it from my Mac host OS.
The web server is running and I can access it from my guest OS, but not from its host.
I'm using Parallels Desktop and I've tried to change the networking mode from shared, bridged, to host-only with no result.
This is for development sake, so I just need it to be at least accessible to my host OS.
Is this actually possible with Parallels, or should I keep an eye on other VM engine?
You want to put your guest into "bridged" networking mode. This will allow it to obtain an IP address on the same network as your host OS (from your router via DHCP or statically configured).
See this:
Shared Networking – the recommended type of networking for the VM. Your virtual machine will share whatever network connection is used by
your Mac. You will be able to access the network from the VM as long
your Mac OS X is connected to the network. The only limitation of this
mode is that the VM is not visible from the external network
Bridged Networking – uses your network adapter. You should choose this mode if you want to access the VM from the external network.
Please keep in mind that your network configuration should allow using
DHCP to assign IP address for the VM, or you should obtain a static IP
for the VM and set it in the guest OS.
