Hi,
We have a problem with virtual machine (win2003 x64 host & win2003 std VM) : physical computers on my network sometimes lose ping to virtual machines (vice versa).
It seems that MAC Address of these virtual machines are not those defined in the .vmx file, but the host MAC :
_____
On Host :
Network Adapters are two Broadcom card, with teaming (load balancing).
IPConfig /all => Phys. Address : 00-14-5E-3D-63-8C (BASP adapter of team)
Arp -a => ip.of.my.svr 00-14-5E-3D-63-8C dynamic
_
On the VM server :
IPConfig /all => 00:0c:29:ea:39:5e (MAC of the vmx file)
_____
A temporary resolution to establish a permanent ping is the command "arp -s ip.of.my.svr 00-0C-29-EA-39-5E" on each computer :/
I don't know how to permantently resolve this issue ?!
There are 3 possibilities : VMWare issue, Broadcom Teaming issue or Cisco Switch issue...
I found a similar thread on this forum but no solution : http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?messageID=651543򟄗
