networking - Connect to server in vmware player while host is not connected to a network -


i using vmware player 3.1.0 on host os windows 7 professional 64-bit. guest is suse linux es 10. guest os (suse) runs jboss app server access host using http. used "bridged" connection set this.

my problem: when connected network on host (using wired network adapter) can connect http server on guest os , browse application. however, when disconnected network on host (unplugged wire), cannot access guest os app server , browse application. use guest os ifconfig command find out ip address of guest os. ip address not change whether connected or disconnected. have tried using wireless data card, not work either.

i have tried "nat" "host only" connection , rebooted guest not work either. think reason guest os can recognize physical network card (which disconnected).

i need run machine (my laptop) independently of network because use demo , need able connect host os guest os.

i not sure understand trying do, know setting working nat configuration offer flexibility.

click networking icon , select settings, select nat.

follow these steps on unix os

  1. cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
  2. make backup of ethernet adapter configuration
  3. cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth0.bak
  4. next modify settings following:
    device="eth0"
    bootproto="dhcp"
    hwaddr="what ever here on system"br/> nm_controlled="yes"
    onboot="yes"
  5. save changes
  6. restart network adapters
    /etc/init.d/network restart
  7. try nslookup www.google.com

you should able connect , forth windows host , linux guest.
