so this is the setup:
I have a Windows XP installed, VirtualBox and a centOS 6.2 virtual machine.
I installed Samba, and currently, my VM and host Windows are in the same subnet.
I can ping my VM from Windows and vice versa.
I have a created a shared folder via Samba like this:
[Share]
path = /home/share
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
create mode = 0777
directory mode = 0777
share modes = yes
*I followed a full tutorial here
My problem now is that, when I try to access such folder like this \192.xx.xxx.xxx\home\share (192.xx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of my VM) from Windows "Run",
Windows can't find it.
P.S. I've turned off my Windows Firewall (although Trend Micro personal firewall is still on)
found the solution, I changed the iptables, and smb.conf to allow my Host IP address to access my guest. Thanks anyway :)

so i setup a centOS vm in VMware workstation, installed qradar..everything ran fine. I call this vm as QR1.
I was able to use qradar console on QR1 from my host machine, the internet works perfectly fine in QR1.
I make a full clone of QR1 called it QR2.
I boot it up and only running QR2 vm (QR1 is closed) but there is no internet on this vm. Even though all the network setting are same as QR1 and QR1 works just fine(i double checked).
QR2 has same adapter, same ip, same gateway and dns as of QR1 but it doesnt work...
previously i was thinking that i cannot have them both running at same time but QR2 just doesnt connect.
I am also not able to ping QR2 from my host and other way around.
What could be causing this ?
According to this vmware link reference, try these steps:
To change the MAC address of the Linux operating system:
Connect to vCenter Server using the vSphere Client Right-click the
virtual machine and click Edit Settings. Click Network adapter and
note the MAC Address.
For example, you see a MAC Address similar to:
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
1.Power on the Linux virtual machine.
2.Open a console and log in as root.
3.Change directory to etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
4.Edit ifcfg-eth0 using a plain text editor and update the MAC address to reflect the MAC address in Step 3.
I am new to virtual machines so pardon my ignorance.
I have a host machine running Windows Server 2012 R2 and I'm trying to run a VM with Windows 8.1 Enterprise using Hyper-V. I need to be able to use USB devices on the VM.
Please check screenshot for the Hyper-V settings and the VM settings. The VMConnect does not have 'Show Options' to select local resources.
I tried using Remote Desktop Connection to the VM but nothing happens when USB devices are plugged in the host machine.
Not sure what I'm missing here.
Any help in fixing this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hyper-V Settings
VM Settings
If the USB device you want to use in the VM is a USB memory stick share it with the RDP local resources option as a Drive instead of the trying to replicate the USB port itself.
Eg:
There is a dependency(XRDP) to be installed in order to enable Enhanced Session Mode. Please follow the following steps or watch this video for more clarity.
Visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS2m6iyG7_M&ab_channel=VikeshYadav
On hyper-v linux machine:
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/linux-vm-tools
cd linux-vm-tools/ubuntu/18.04/
sudo chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh
On windows machine:
set-vm -VMName ubuntu -EnhancedSessionTransportType HvSocket
I've got Win8.1 guest system (1 gen VM) and Win10 as host. Tried pretty much everything, but wasn't able to enable Enhanced Mode (simply grayed out all the time), unless I enabled RDP connections in the guest system (Control Panel, Allow remote access to your computer). After this change VMConnect with ability to share local resources appeared on attempt to connect to the VM.
Hope this helps all the people who find this thread while googling.
I am running Centos 7 x86-64. I installed a guest (again Centos 7) through kickstart as an exercise. I prepared my kickstart file, I validated it and I launched with virt-install.
If something went wrong with the network configuration (During install I got no problem, I created a local repo on Host FTP server as source for the install) how can I connect to the machine?
Only SSH or virsh foresee some other connection method?
How can I find my machine running network configuration from outside?
I am running a barebone Centos7 installation so only command line, no graphical interface at all.
Thanks,
M.
You can ssh to your physical host from another one having graphical interface with X forwarding enabled (ssh -X machinename), and look at the the VM with virt-manager
You will need X running on the machine you're connecting from. For Mac OS it's XQuartz
I am using VMWare player and I have a webserver installed in my Linux guest machine
(Linux Mint with Tomcat).
I want to access the webserver from my host machine
(Windows 7).
What are the steps required?
Thank you
On your Linux box (the guest), open a terminal, and type:
ifconfig
Look at the output, you should see a INET ADDR (or something like that) and it will have your ip address beside it. Something like 192.168.7.10 (this is an example).
Then go back to your host, amd in a web browser type in 'http://(the ip you just found)'
This should connect to your webserver
Alternatively, use the hostname command on the guest Linux machine to figure out its name (I think the default is ubuntu), then use it from your host -- e.g. http://(the name you just found) (in my case, http://ubuntu/)
I run Windows 7 as my main OS, and for development work I installed CentOS on a virtual machine under VirtualBox. Everything is installed, including httpd and php with mysql, but I can't figure out what IP to use to gain access to the server.
For example, I used to have XAMPP installed on 7 and I just used "localhost" to get to the servers document root, but I have no clue what it is for the virtual machine.
I have tried "locahost", "192.168.11.2" (my address on the network) and my own IP address and I can't seem to get it working.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. :)
I don't know VirtualBox, but can you do an ifconfig from the terminal window to your VM. If it doesn't give you a terminal window, your CentOS setup probably does DHCP to get an address. Browse to the web interface of your home router (192.168.11.1?) and check the DHCP clients table to see if it registered and get its address.
