I have a Win 8 host and a Win 7 VM. NAT works perfectly but when I switch to bridge I get an IP, router is able to see the VM but there is no internet. What do I have to do to make the internet work? BTW it also does not work in any other VM that I have.
Ok got internet now on my bridged connection. It was Bitdefender firewall blocking it so i just turned it off. Now the problem is that I am trying to use no-ip to make my KMs available to me outside of my network. Problem I am facing is that for some reason, even tho my port is forwarded to my VM, I am still unable to get access to my server. Please help me out, if anyone knows how, to fix this problem. Thanks
No need to reinstall VMware. Open VMWare Window, do not start any guest. Go to EDIT->Virtual Network Editor. In the Network Editor Select Automatic Settings Tab for Bridged Networking, uncheck any Virtual Adapters (Like connectify, Microsoft Virtual Wifi etc). Make sure that only physical adapters are selected. Apply settings. Restart VMware and you should be good with bridged networking.
