How do I connect to VMware from another PC? - linux

I am facing an issue with my VMware and Ubuntu PC.
Scenario: I have a Windows 8.1 PC (IP: 192.168.1.10) and installed VM ware on this Window PC and installed Centos 7 on the VM ware (IP: 192.168.163.127). Also, I have another PC installed with Ubuntu 15.10 (IP: 192.168.1.12). I need to ping or connect to the Centos on the VM ware from my Ubuntu PC. I am using VMware workstation 12 Pro.
How do I can do this? Is this possible? Please, anybody, help me.

try to set the Networkadapter to bridged mode. At your virtual pc you need a IP like 192.168.1.... Then you have access to your virtual pc over your local network.

By using NAT it is quite possible. For further information about how you can configure your NAT and Bridge please take a look at following links:

Cannot cut & paste between a Linux host and a Linux VMware Workstation Guest

I am running Fedora 35 as my host / laptop. Installed VMware Workstation 16 pro, it works, I installed a Fedora 35 guest / VM but cannot get it to let me cut *& paste between host & guest.
Thanks in advance for any advice
To do this you will need to install VMWare tools on your VM. This will be needed to enable the copy paste functionality in any VM you create in VMWare Workstation.

VMWare Workstation 11: Cant copy/cut/paste between my host Windows 7 and a guest Windows 10

I have a bad time trying to understand whythe copy/cut/paste between my host OS "Windows 7" and a Guest OS "Windows 10" don't work!
The feature works with other Guests (WS2012, WS2008 and Ubuntu distro) installed on the same VMWare.
I checked the vmtools, the latest version in installed.
Any hints/explanations how it works with some guests and no with others ?
What can I do to solve the issue ?
Thanks
just go to vertual machine setting and set connection type as bridge, if you it is in NAT or Host only network it might not work.

make webserver from Ubuntu 14.04 desktop version in virtualbox

I'm thinking about creating a webserver from my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS running on virtualbox. I've made some test pages there but I have no idea how to connect from my computer (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS as well) to virtualbox computer and run created pages there.
I guess I have to acces virtualbox computer via IP somehow. Another think is that I want to acces this webserver for everybody in the network, not just my computer. These clients could have both Linux and Windows OSs.
Could you anybody help me to figure out this stuff, please?
set the guest os network interface in virtualbox to bridged
networking. assign a static ip address that corresponds to your LAN
restart your web server (typically its sudo service apache2 restart)

Is there a way to install windows server 2003 x64 over a VM?

I have been trying to install that but it produces an error saying that the processor is not compatible with x64. I tried VMWare Player and Microsoft Virtual PC. I also read about disabling virualization but it's not working.
By enabling virtualization from the BIOS setup of the main machine it worked!

Can vmWare Server be installed in a X-less host?

I am planning to move my vmWare's Virtual Machines from a Windows host to a Linux host (Ubuntu). It is possible to run vmWare Server in a Linux host that does not have the graphical environment (does not have X)?
I just wonder how the graphical setup of Windows/Linux guest work in this case.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Just install it on Ubuntu Server and install it via apt-get. Here's a good walkthrough

I did this on my development server and connect to it using the graphical client on my Windows machine. I have no gui installed.
the X libraries are required during the compilation and installation of VMware Server on Linux.
virtualbox has some command line tools that you can use and I don't believe it requires an x installation. You should compare the features and make sure that's what you want though.
