I have a virtual network for testing built with VMWare Workstation 15. Everything works fine with the virtual network but I have an issue I can't fix.
From what I've understood the Virtual Network in VMWare (the one called VMnetx where x is a number) works as virtual switches. You create a virtual network with a subnet in the virtual network manager. Once you want to connect a machine into the virtual network, you select that network on your interface and everything works great.
The problem is if I want a P2P connection (basically a virtual cable connected as a bridge between two machines in the same subnet).
I tried to create another virtual network with the same subnet so I can attach the two network adapter only to this newly created virtual network (which should have the same subnet) but VMWare won't let me create another virtual network with the same subnet.
Is there a way to connect two machines point2point on the same subnet of a virtual network already created without having to use the virtual switch?
PS all my machines run Linux server 20.04.2 LTS
Unfortunately, there's no way to do that. A solution would be to create a USB virtual dongle to connect both machines.
The best solution remains to use a network interface connected to the virtual network and set Machine 2 to use Machine 1 as Default Gateway (you will no more need the 10.1.0.5 interface)

I created a VM in HyperV and modified it to be a DLP machine.
I saved the machine's disk and uploaded it to Azure on a new VM and when I tried to connect a Network Interface to the VM it didn't work, I could do that and it seemed as if it worked but when went to Networking it said:
This network interface does not contain network security groups
Which basically means it didn't set anything, also when tried to add a new NIC (Network Interface) for the third time the following error was given:
Failed to attach network interface 'Dlp-machine-NetworkINT' to virtual machine 'Dlp-machine'. Error: The number of network interfaces for virtual machine Dlp-machine exceeds the maximum allowed for the virtual machine size Standard_D2s_v3. The number of network interfaces is 3 and the maximum allowed is 2.
So it seems like the former NICs were saved but were not really applied or used.
I came to realize that what's the problem is that since the VM is using a local disk it's configured to use the local NIC.
Anyone has encountered something like this when uploading a local disk to Azure and knows what to do?
What the second error says is that your VM is limited to only 2 NICs by its SKU. You should use Standard_D8s_v3 (or some other SKU) to allow to use 4 NICs

I have deployed a Kali Linux VM in Azure and created an addition network interface card, however when i type ifconfig in terminal I cannot see the new network interface card I attached?
Below are the steps to added Nic to a Linux VM correctly.

To make sure you do not run into issues it is better to add Nic while VM is deallocated.
In Hyper-V when we create virtual machine we can assign virtual switch to it.
Is it Possible to assign two virtual switch to Hyper-V? If so How?
If I understand correctly then we can create different type of virual switch.
Internal Network
Private Network
External Network.
I have three VM out of this One VM I want to assign External as well as Internal Network switch. So this VM expose to outside
network. Other two VM have only Internal network switch. So it does not expose to outside network.
Let me know your comment on suggestion.
I am using Windows 10 and Hyper-V.
I found it and hope that it will useful to community as well.
In Virtual Switch Manager Create all switch that you required.
After that go to your VM. ( Make sure that VM is not in running state).
In this Go to Settings.
In this Add Hardware and Select Network Adapter.
Select Switch that you have created.
By this way you can multiple network adapter to Virtual Machine in Hyper-V.
Setup:
Windows 7 host
Vmware workstation running Oracle Linux guest
I have a static IP assigned to my guest OS (Can be accessed only from office-LAN or with VPN). Using the bridged network , everything works fine. What setup needs to be done when i have to access this VM over wireless network (When my host is connected to wireless internet connection at home) ?
The static IP over wireless can only be accessed once i am connected to VPN.
Go to bridged networking, choose 'Bridged to' adapter to your wireless adapter. Usually Bridged to' adapter will be ethernet adapter.
I have a VMware workstation which has Ubuntu in it and I've also installed LAMPP on it, I have already created a full running website using php. I could access the website on my local computer(where the vmware is installed) by using the ip address however if i try using other computers, I couldn't open the website. What am I missing?
One possible cause is that you probably have the VM interface card in NAT mode. If the interface is in NAT mode, your Ubuntu VM will be "hidden" behind the VM host.
Change the Virtual Machine network interface card to bridged mode, in Virtual Machine settings -> Network Adapter.
After setting the interface do Bridged mode, if you have a DHCP server on your network, you only have to renew the IP address of the Ubuntu machine (if it didn't do it automatically).
Check the new IP address of the Ubuntu machine (should be an IP address of your LAN). Use this IP to contact the web server.
