Im having issues in vmware workstation.
Im trying to create a virtual network for a couple of testing XP and Win7 VM's,...
I want to build a VM router, Ive tried pfsense and DD-WRT x86.
The problem is, neither of them will pick up an IP address from VMnet0. VMnet0 is bridged to the host machines NIC, with Vmwares own DHCP service active so any VM that is connected to VMnet0 gets an IP address. I know it works, if I assign any of the windows VMs to VMnet0 they get internet access.
Neither pfsense or DD-wrt do. They act like the link is completely inactive between them and Vnet0. I cant even finish the pfsense install.
Yet, the DD-wrt VM, that keeps complaing about no link at VMnet0, will assign out IPs to the Windows VMs that are on the second vitrual NIC interface, VMnet1...I can actually go into DD-wrt from the windows VMs, but it of course has no internet activity. Yet any other VM thats set to VMnet0 does...
Thoughts on what Im doing wrong?,
Ive googled that both pfsense and DD-WRT x86 virtual machines have worked. Granted, pfsense's tutorial deals with physical NICs dedicated to a VM, but that shouldnt matter if Im wanting to put the VMs behind the router VM.
