[intensecool]

Hey guys,

I started to learn setting up VMWARE VPS or HYPERV VPS few days back & i am totally lost now.

I AM STUCK UP IN NETWORKING VPS & ALLOWING REMOTE DESKTOP TO THE VM, Please
help me with this, i am already getting mad over this.

I purchased a dedicated from 100tb & got windows server 2008 on it.
Lets talk about HyperV first.

I installed the role & the configured a new machine with WINDOWS SERVER 2008.
All set up and done, now came to NETWORKING PART.

I tried the BRIDGED NETWORK & THEN THE NAT one , nothing worked. So left it there & went to VMWARE.

VMWARE Part :

Uninstalled HYPERV & installed VMWARE ESX. Now, created another VM with same OS & configured it correctly.

NETWORKING :

Finally, something worked out of box & i used this article for this :

http://geekswithblogs.net/NewThingsI...e-desktop.aspx

Now, i got networking in the VM with both NAT & BRIDGED.

But , it was not good till then, my VM can do ping , but can not browse INTERNET..

Internet connectivity is there , but no NET BROWSING.


I am stuck with the PORTABLE & STATIC IP;s that i got from 100tb.

FIREWALL IS disabled on both GUEST & HOST VM.

Here is what i did:

1. Public network :
IP : 174.36.35.2
Subnet : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 174.36.35.1

DNS : 10.0.80.11 , 10.0.80.12

2. Private Network :

IP : 173.244.206.236
Subnet : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : NONE

DNS : 10.0.80.11 , 10.0.80.12

============================================
Used PRIVATE IP : 173.244.206.236
PUBLIC IP : 174.36.35.2
GATEWAY : 174.36.35.1

Then did these

Right Click on “Local Area Connection” -> Properties.
Select “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” then click “Properties”.
On the General Tab
Select “Use the following IP address:”
Enter your public IP Address, subnet mask and gateway.
Select “Use the following DNS server addresses:”. If you will be configuring the private network, use the following DNS Servers, if not, you will need to provide DNS servers
Preferred DNS server: 10.0.80.11
Alternate DNS server: 10.0.80.12
·Click “OK”

Private Network
Right Click on “Local Area Connection 2” -> Properties.
Select “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” then click “Properties”.
On the General Tab
Select “Use the following IP address:”
Enter your private IP Address and subnet mask.
Leave the gateway field empty
Click “OK”
Click “OK” again to close the network configuration window.

To provide access to the entire private network which includes the DNS servers you will need to add a custom route to the server. This is done in the next few steps.
Start -> Run
Enter the command “cmd” and press “OK”

Run the following command; replace the gateway address (10.0.0.1) with your private IP block gateway.

route add 10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 173.244.206.236 –p
=================================================================


Uptil now, no connectivity on VM.

All i need it to get INTERNET working on the VM & it should be accessible to the outside world via RDP over static IP.

I hope only you guys can help me with this, if anyone knows bout setting VM on SOFTLAYER please help.

I shall be grateful to you.

I think that you first of all should contact your web host and then ask them for help. I think that in nay case that would be cheaper and faster for you.

I tried to do that but they say , they can only tell me bout the things like portable & static IP & showed an article from softlayer.

I tried with it , when i told this, they said i will need to ORDER SUPREME SUPPORT who can help me on this.

You've mentioned that you tried NAT & BRIDGED. What is it set to now?
It looks like you need Bridged if you are using an external address.

Also, when you were able to access the network on the VM, were you able to access the internet via IP only? IE, could you ping google's IP address? If so, you've got a dns issue.

Are you able to ping the gateway on the VM, or ping the host?
Do you have a default gw set?
You could try some traceroutes, to see where you are reaching/not reaching, and debug from there.
