Hey Guys
I'm slowly getting fed up of this issue and hope someone can help here.
I have VMware Workstation 9 installed on my work laptop. I've currently got 2 VM's setup with server 2012 and a basic domain.
I've configured the VMware NAT network adapter to use the 192.168.0.0 IP range. DHCP is turned on to dish out IP's between 100 and 150. Originally I had DHCP turned off with the intention of installing the DHCP role in one of my server 2012 VM's but having it disabled seems to make this worse!
My VM's are configured to use the NAT network adapter and I have set static IP address/subnet/gateway/dns on both (one has an ip of 10 and the other of 20. Outside the DHCP range but still in the overall IP range)
Now the issue is that the internet will randomly crap out on the VM's quite regularly for no reason that I can see. I can only assume it's a DNS issue with the actual VMware NAT adapter as generally anything in the virtual network still works fine including dns lookup for the other VM. The only stupid solution I've found is to set the network adapters back to dynamic in the VM's and let the DHCP assign the settings, load a webpage then set them back to static.
This is really starting to irk me. Has anyone experienced similar? Any tips on a setting I may have missed? Unfortunatly because my laptop is often on different networks and I need internet access on my VM's, NAT is the only option for me.
Thanks in advanced
