Windows7 +VMware + XP = No networking

Recommended Posts

Having issues with setting up my network with XP inside windows 7 with VMware. I have googled for days now with no luck to my issue. Only thing that I can see that looks fishy is that when I do "ipconfig" inside virtual machine, it does not show that I have a MAC Address.. Hmmmm..

 

I am pretty much lost at this point. I have used the NAT, I have bridged the connections to use the host network, but just no luck..

 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

she already has. you can see the tools icon next to clock in xp. i have never used networking while using vmware, i wanted isolated guest for some erp and db applications. so cant really say what ur problem might be.

if ur router cant assign a different ip address to both guest and host, try using NAT or creating a virtual network on host and have guest join it.

if nothing works google some more :P

Whoops, stupid me. Should have noticed that.

wonder, could you manually assign a MAC address through Windows Device Manager?

I'm sure you've already tried VMWare's Troubleshooting Guide?

I have tried all of the above..

 

 

Could it possibly be that the host machine is behind a switch? Basically it goes, modem to router (one PC on this end) then to a switch to my other two PCs..

 

 

I tried to get into my router and wouldnt you know it, I cant.. Says "not available"

 

 

HAS to be the switch, I got nothing else...
