VMWare Guests can't bridge in to Wifi

Network setup: WLC4402, 1141 APs. DHCP is required on all SSIDs.
A co-worker has a setup where his laptop runs VMWare and is attached to Wifi. On his guest Virtual Machines, he notices that they work fine when in NAT mode, but when he tries to bridge them on to the WiFi network, DHCP requests timeout. I duplicated his configuration with VMWare player, and got the same behavior.
When we plug in to wired connections, the Guests are able to bridge on to the network just fine.
Any ideas on this? I'm thinking perhaps the DHCP requirement option may be preventing the VMWare guests from bridging.

Forgot to mention we're running 6.0.202.0 on the 4402. Haven't bothered upgrading to 7.0 as I don't think there's any new features.
Sounds like changing the APs to H-REAP mode is the best fix. Our network is already configured for trunking so it shouldn't be that big of an issue.

WinXp Pro as Virtualbox Guest can't ping router/internet

Hi:
I am running Arch 64 and installed virtualbox_bin 2.0.4-1 from AUR and guest additions 2.0.2-1 from AUR.
I have installed as a guest os, WinXP Pro and set up bridge networking per
http://mychael.gotdns.com/blog/2007/05/ … -bridging/.
My Arch host works fine (it can access the internet and ping the guest WinXP Pro). My WinXP Pro guest can ping my Arch host and other local machines on my network. However it cannot ping my router or access or ping the internet.
I log onto the WinXP Pro as the Administrator and I have the firewall disabled, so I don't think it is being blocked on the XP side by anything.
As far as Arch goes, I have tried adding the host name of the WinXP Pro machine to /etc/hosts and put the ip adress of the XP machine into /etc/hosts.allow. Neither of these actions resulted in success. I don't think I have a firewall or other special security measures on my Arch? I just did a fresh ftp install yesterday and did not add ssh or other security measures that weren't included in the default install and the base-devel install.
My search of the forums turned up a similar problem to mine that was solved by removing the firewall in the WinXP guest. I have already done that still without success.
My uneducated guess is that the gateway ip is not getting to the guest. I am using static ip for both the Arch host and the WinXP guest. The WinXP guest says that it is connected and reports no problems. I tried using dhcp on the XP guest but that didn't work either.
Here is the network section of my /etc/rc.conf
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
BRIDGE_INTERFACES=(br0)
bridge_br0=(eth0)
br0="br0 192.168.1.201 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
eth0="eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc"
INTERFACES=(lo br0 eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Floris:
Thanks for the reply.
I originally tried the Arch Way without success, that is why I tried the other way.
However at your suggestion, I have tried the Arch Way again, with the same results. That is I can ping other computers on my network but I can't ping my router nor access the internet from my guest.
Seeing that I have the same problem regardless of which method I use leads me to believe that it must be something simple and obvious that I am doing wrong. But what??! I have no idea.
Any thoughts you have would be much appreciated.

EA6300 - Cascading the Linksys router to another router (LAN-LAN) - Does not Bridge built in Wifi AP

Regarding:
http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=3733#
Cascading the Linksys router to another router (LAN-LAN)
The Bridge mode function on the EA6300 does not bridge the Wifi AP radio to the network.
The ethernet ports are bridged, and the router can see network devices and wifi devices connected to itand ping devices in both directions , but Wifi clients connecting to the unit running in bridge mode are not "bridged" to the network.
~
Using the built in webpage of the router, all devices can be pinged.
Ethernet RJ-45 devices plugged into it can ping the unit and pull up the units config webpage, but not ping wifi clients connected to it.
Wfii devices connected to its access point radio, can pull up the units config webpage, but not ping ethernet RJ-45 devices connected to it.
If there is a bridge, then the bridge is broken in half and not functional.
~
All devices are set with IPs on the same subnet, 192.168.2.x
~
I have a Netgear router in Bridge mode, and it works fine, connecting the wifi access point and RJ-45 ethernet clients together like it should be, so I know how Bridge mode... should work...
But it doesn't on this unit, it is not working completely out the factory door. It will bridge one Router to another via the RJ-45 ethernet ports, but its own AP radio is no longer bridged and connected (like when running in NAT
Note that doing cascading using NAT as described under "Cascading the Linksys router to another router (LAN-WAN)" works fine.

Hi,
There's no WLAN bridge feature on the new Linksys Smart Wifi routers. You might also like to check and review these articles about Bridge Mode:
Article ID: 24583 - Setting up your Linksys Wi-Fi or Smart Wi-Fi Router to Bridge Mode
Article ID: 25714 - Setting up your Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Router to Bridge Mode using your Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Account
Hope this helps!
If everyone needs to believe in something, I believe I'll have another beer..

Same Numbers file opens fine under host but blank under VMWare guest

Am working toward a daily use virtual machine as an operating environment. Using VMWare Fusion 4 and Lion 10.7.4 for both host and guest. Host and guest each have 4 GB RAM allocated and gobs of disk space.
Have iWork '09 installed under both host and guest. Trying to use a Numbers worksheet that's stored both in iCloud and DropBox - doesn't matter which, same results. This is the same physical file accessed from both host and guest. In the host, worksheet opens fine. In the guest, Numbers '09 starts fine, but no worksheet contents show - the tree shows on the left, but worksheet shows blank. Have tried pulling in backup copy and re-uploading to DropBox. Same results. Same behavior for Pages .09.
Other applications (other than iWork) seem OK so far.
Anyone have an idea what may be going on?
Thanks!

UPDATE:
I have backed up to Lion 10.7.3 in a new vmware guest, reinstalled iWork '09 from the retail disk into the guest. No change. Pages, Numbers and Keynote work spaces all show empty on guest screen (even though same files open fine under hot side).
I have downloaded latest Parallels, installed, created Lion 10.7.4 guest, installed iWork '09 from retail disk and same results. Host works fine, guest loads but shows blanks screen.
I had a note from one person who said they had similar setup and same s/w versions all around. Says his works fine under guest. So far, only difference I can see is that he's running Numbers and Pages apps he downloaded from the App Store whereas I'm using an iWork retail disk. We're both using iWork '09 version 2.1.
Really now, could THAT be the problem?
Ideas anyone?
Thanks.

How can i connect ipad mini wifi+celluar to 2g internet plan

Hello Sir!
After weeks of testing, i found the solution of my question. It´s quiet simply!!
1º iPhone (3G Internet acess) connected to Mac mini by USB or BlueTooth or WiFi.
2ª in Mac mini must be activated in "Preferencias", "Compartir", the option "Compartir Internet",
     "Compartir Conexión desde":   iPhone USB or Bluetooth PAN
     "Con otros Ordenadores vía": Ethernet
3º Ethernet cable must be connected from Mac mini to Time Capsule !!
4º In Time Capsule "Internet": connect by: DHCP
                             "Network": bridged
Nothing more!!! Sooooo simply!!
After this, Windows XP SP3 connect without problem over TC´s WiFi or Ethernet to the Internet!
Also other Devices like IPad, or other iPhone, etc.
Of course it can be a created a WiFi connection (PPP) between the iPhone and the Mac
and it´s working to.
But ALWAYS, by changing the connection mode, must be changed the Thethering mode.
In- and Out-Going!
Thank you for your help, no I made me a "small" TC expert...lol

Deploy Server 2012 to VMWare Guest using Paravirtual SCSI

Hi,
I attempting to use Boot Media to boot a VMware Guest OS to image with Server 2012.
I have imported the following drivers from the x64 VMware Tools:
VMware PVSCSI Controller
VMware PCI Ethernet Adapter
vmxnet3 Ethernet Adapter
I have added the drivers to the x64 Boot image in SCCM 20012 R2 then I went ahead and created the Boot media
When the VMware Guest boots up the boot image I can manually configure an IP address and successfully retrieve the Assigned Task Sequence (Based on a manually imported Computer Object/MAC address)
Long story short... I realized that the Imaging process is failing at the Partition/Format section of the Task Sequence.
Upon further investigation I can clearly see that the "C:\ Drive" is not being detected.
what am I missing? are there any suggestions out there or has someone else had any similar issues in their environment?

Can I bridge an android smartphone with my blackberry tablet rather than a blackberry device?

My employer is requiring me to move from a blackberry Storm to a different smartphone. I have a choice between an android and an iPhone, and would,do prefer the android Can it be paired to the playbook like the Storm currently is, and if so, how?

You can't bridge it like your Storm, but many Androids let you turn them into wifi hotspots so you can at least access the net from your PB. You may want to check your data plan though. Most handsets can also function as a modem via bluetooth. Finally, for a stopgap alternative to Bridge Files, there are Android apps that are mini webservers so you can get access to the files on your handset from your PB's browser. For that to work you'd need a wifi hotspot.
In short, while you can find Android solutions to do most of the Bridge functions, none are as seamless or integrated as Bridge.

Slow pageloads browsing vmware guest when offline

I frequently develop locally against a CentOS vmware guest running apache/mysql. I use a private hostname for a valid public domain name... e.g., local.domain.com. I have an entry in /etc/hosts so my local domain resolves to the local guest IP while the wildcard for the domain resolves to a public IP (i.e., *.domain.com).
When I have an active internet connection everything works fine.
When I do not have an internet connection (i.e., offline) the same setup works but page loads are extremely slow (5-7x slower than when internet connection is active).
Using Firebug in FF I can see the breakdown of each HTTP Request... it appears the additional time is being spent after DNS (DNS does not appear to be the issue) in the Connecting stage.
I see the issue in Firefox (3.5, downgraded to 3.0 to verify it wasn't 3.5) and in Safari.
I have not been using this setup on a regular basis lately so I'm not sure if it started pre-Snow Leopard upgrade or not.
thanks for any help figuring this out.

     Power cycle
     Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
     Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly.
     It will take a   while.
     Restart the computer.
     Start up in Safe Mode

How can i switch my att wifi with time capsule

how can i switch my att wifi with time capsule

Sorry I have no idea what you mean.. switch off, switch on, swap over.

Or just turn it off.

Can i return my ipad wifi for a wifi 3G eventhough it's engraved?

Can i return my ipad wifi for a wifi 3G even though it's engraved?

According to Apple's customer service line you can return an engraved iPad for an exchange, but it's not clear if it's within 14 or 30 days. If you call they says 30, but their site says 14. I think it has to be purchased straight through Apple though. Contact where you bought it from and tell them you are thinking of buying a iPad and having it engraved, but are concerned about the refund policy. They'll explain it in more detail at that time.

HT5569 Since upgrading to 7.1.1 last week, I can no longer connect to WIFI on my iPhone 4S

Since upgrading to 7.1.1 last week, I can no longer connect to WIFI on my iPhone 4S

No, it is not a known issue. It is a known non-issue. Try resetting your IMAP login ID and password. Both the incoming and outgoing. If that fails delete the account reboot the phone, and add it back.

HT1178 i am setting u a new time capsule. i already have a wifi setup in my office. now i want to use this time capsule just as a wireless backup machine. do i still need to attached a DSL cable, or it can connect to my existing wifi and start working ?

You probably can, but this type of configuration is not recommended or supported by Apple.
Two cautions if you want to try this:
1) The Time Capsule has to be configured to "Join" your existing wireless network in this type of setup...and to do that, you must know the exact type of wireless security that your network is using.
2) Backups are likely going to take twice as long. The wireless signal must travel from your computer to the wireless router and then from the wireless router back to the Time Capsule. Two "hops"......even if the computer is located close to the Time Capsule.
If you want to try this, we can tell you how....but with no guarantees on your results....since this is not officially supported.

I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

Yes, I did try to go on my settings>wifi and was waiting for any wifi signals to pick up, but nothing shows up. But on my PC I get a whole list of networks to choose from. Regarding my neighbor, I already have her password that is why I was able to get it on my PC, the problem is that the mini Ipad is not picking any signal neither can it locate me when I go to maps.
