Question Routing

[MPF-Dean]

Hey Guys,

There is no reason, just a problem needing solving

The setup (trying to keep it simple)

- the internet

- the router

- laptop/connected via wireless

Ipconfig is dhcp - 192.168.173.254/24

Sharing connection with;

- loopback virtual eth adapter

Static ip 192.168.16.1
255.255.255.0

- VM set up, external switch using the above v eth adapter

Static ip 192.168.16.10
255.255.255.0
192.168.16.1 gw

From VM i can reach the internet, set up routes so can reach the router and the laptop, and obviously can reach the v eth 192.168.16.1 as is gw

Have done trace routes all good arp and route tables look good

On my "host" - the laptop, using wireless adapter.. cannot reach 192.168.16.10 (the vm) and i cant find out where my routes are wrong, in this set up as its all virtualised the route tables work to create the "physical" connection

Yewww lets fix this

There may be a firewall what program did you use for the VM? I'd check the docs on that.
There is a NAT in play there so you will have to port forward. If the VM host will allow a bridged interface then the VM could be on the same subnet.

Damn.. what a rookie mistake, forgot to disable the firewall on the vm

All working, legend!
