Odd Routing Question

BillHicksRIP · 31 Mar 2012 at 19:36

Wonder if I could get some help.

PC on 192.168.1.x network with VMWare Workstation.
PC is talking to a VMWare image over NAT using a 192.168.23.x address.
The VMWare image itself is running a KVM image and talking to it via a bridge to a 10.10.0.x address.

Is there any way I can get to the 10.10 network from my PC on the 192.168 network? The 10.10 KVMs are running apps with web front-ends which are a pain to deal with when working inside a VMWare workstation screen.

Any help appreciated.

Can you not just add the 10.x ip range to your tcp/ip settings?

That's the bit I'm stuck with. I can ping "a" 10.10.0.15 address, for example, but it's not the one running inside the VM's VM. I need to figure out how to get from 192.168 to 192.23 and through to 10.10 somehow. The PC is Win7, the VMware image is Red Hat 6 as is the one running inside the KVM. I'm guessing I need to do some port forwarding somewhere - not sure.

Could you not add a route? Would be something like:

route 10.10.x.x mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.23.x

Thanks both very much for the assistance. The command below did the trick:-

route add 10.10.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.23.101

You're trying to get from outside of the NAT to inside?

If so, no, unless you set up a static port forward, it won't work.
