Soyoustart - VMWARE PRO IP Failover help

Specsblue

Hello,
I try to set up for a few hours my linux VM on a Windows Dedicated machine.
NAT machine works perfect, but getting it online with other IP it doesn't work for me.

I got new failover IP, added VMWARE MAC, put the same to the VM.

Network Settings Configuration install mode:
Ubuntu

IP: 1XX.XX.XX.XX
Netmask: 255.255.255.255
Gateway: mainserver IP but 254 at the END.

But no way to get it online. I hope someone can help me or give me some advice

In the hypervisor (e.g. VMware), set the virtual machine's network adapter to use bridge mode.
There's usually a selection among: NAT, bridge, host only, internal, etc.

Yes, I use. but somehow i can not use my ip address.

try this

1. power off your vm in vmware workstation
2. go to edit menu - virtual network editor
3. click change settings
4. click vmnet that have type as "bridge" , set "bridged to" specific network adapter that connect to the physical networks
5. edit your VM settings and give a check on "replicate physical network connection state"
6. power on your vm

Unbelievable

@specsblue maybe ask your own firms tech support.

Double check your netmask isn't typo'd.

Add pointopoint GW_IP to the network configuration so it becomes something like:

address FAILOVER_IP
netmask 255.255.255.255
gateway GATEWAY_IP
pointopoint GATEWAY_IP

(this typically works in Debian and I think by extension Ubuntu but I'm not sure on other distros).

This is because the gateway is on a different network/subnet from your failover IP subnet. If both are on the same subnet, then a mask of 255.255.255.0 should do the trick (to ensure that you can reach the gateway from the IP you're using on the VM).

on your vm network hardware tab have you entered an manual mac address as shown in the portal?
