Hallo,
i think, i have a problem with DNS from VMware.
My configuration:
3 Guest OS: Win2003
Host OS: winXP
The network adapter is set on host only.
I start all VM's and then i ping to VM1(gr-bh) and VM2(gr-ft-01). In the brackets is the hostname. When i ping from Host to VM with IP address, the ping works. When i ping between the VM's with IP address, the ping works. When i ping between the VM's with hostnames, the ping works. But when i ping from host to VM 1 and 2 with hostname, the ping shows me the destination address of my host vmware network adapter. First NAT, now host only address. With the VM3 the ping works with the hostname.
I think i must configure the VMware DNS, but i don't know where i have to do the settings. I found in the menu topic host -->virtual network settings --> register NAT --> Button edit a Button with DNS label. But the auto-detection is set, so i think, i don't do any settings in this dialog.
