I'm trying to set up a small virtual lab consisting of both vmware and virtualbox guests, and can't connect from/to the vmware guests.
- The virtualbox guests are using the host-only network adapter, and get IPs in 192.168.56.0/24 via DHCP.
- The vmware guests are using bridged network connection (bridged to virtualbox host only adapter), and get IPs in 192.168.56.0/24 via DHCP.
The following connections are working:
- Host <-> virtualbox guests
- virtualbox guests <-> virtualbox guests
- vmware guests <-> vmware guests
If I run tshark on the vb guests, I can see broadcast traffic from the vmware guests, however no direct connections are working. Using netdiscover/arp on the vb guests, I can see entries for all guests. On the vmware guests however, most arp entries show (incomplete)
arp entries on the vmware guest:
Any idea why direct connections from/to the vmware guests are not working? I'm using VirtualBox 5.1.8 and VMWare Player 12.5.1
Edit: This is the guide I followed when setting up the network: How to Setup Network Between VirtualBox and VMware Virtual Machines.
Host <-> vmware guests
? It could bevirtualbox guests <-> vmware guests
? Let's ensure it's clear what you're trying to accomplish here that you cannot please. You give the examples of what is working but no example in this same context to show what you'd like to work which is not... I know you say"can't connect from/to the vmware guests
" but that's kind of vague. It's hard to stop @twobeers though man!!virtualbox guests <-> vmware guests
and optionally alsohost <-> vmware guests
