Hello,
I have a problem assigning public IP to guest.
Specification:
- VMWare Workstation 9.
- Host is a Windows server 2008r2 x64. It has single NIC with two public IP addresses. Main IP address is /30 (mask 255.255.255,252) and gateway one lower then the IP address itself. Secondary address is /32 (mask 255.255.255.255) and no default gateway provided.
- Guest is m0n0wall.
I can't assign secondary address to guest becouse there is no gateway specified for secondary IP.
Hosting administrators ain't very helpfull, they only say that i have to use my host system to properly route secondary IP address to non public IP address of the guest system. But i have no idea how to do it. Could you please help me with that?
The reason for using m0n0wall in the first place is to get rid of *HIGHLY* unstalbe vmnat*. I don't accualy need secondary IP. I just need to forward (reliably) port 80 to other guest machine that serves as web server. I tried third party applications like portforward (unstable) and passport (could not force to work on w2008). I tried netsh port forwarding but it's very very slow. Maby there is a better solution then using m0n0wall?
*vmware, if you read this, i am deeply disappointed.
