DNS Server Isn't Responding

Post by 67Jon67 »

Hi, Being non-technical, after hours of reading/testing I'm reaching out for advice.

VB is setup - Version 5.2.18

Host: Windows 7 Ult, 64 bit, 32gb ram.
Guest: Windows 10 pro, 64 bit, 5gb ram
Attached: ZIP of ipconfig on host and guest. (seems to be the issue), and hardening + startup logs.

Does anyone see an obvious issue I'm overlooking?

Also, regarding the setup of the network style;
I'm intending to use VM VB as a system to run a few Windows based digital marketing tools which will use reverse rotating private proxies. With that considered, is there an optimal network setup, or other settings with VB I should consider?
Or would you not suggest a VM, rather a dedicated server?

Thank you for any suggestions and advice!
- Jon

You didn't actually tell us anything about the problem, except in the title; "Not responding". What does that even mean? Doesn't respond to 'ping'? Doesn't resolve? What's your network configuration and settings? Your host's? Post the output of the following command from both your host and your guest (in text, not in pictures please):
  • ipconfig /all
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Cheers =) Thank you to you and the Oracle team for all the laborious support and effort. The forum support and docs have been quite useful.

Re: "What does that even mean?" - The guest windows Network Diagnostics said: "The DNS server isn't responding". However this is from the first post.
I've since change the VB network settings and see this WIN Network Diagnostics message: "Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter. If you have a network adapter, you will need to reinstall the driver."

Re:
Doesn't respond to 'ping'?
What's your network configuration and settings?
Your host's?
ipconfig /all of host and your guest?

Attachments to answer:
Guest and host pings
ipconfig / all for guest and host
guest-network-settings
And the guest-device-manager-update message. This message is new since the OP (my original post).

Please accept my apologies in advance. The host data is a screenshot. For some reason copy/paste isn't working from guest to host, and I am not sure (yet) how to transfer data from a guest drive to host drive.
attached.

Thank you!

Did you create this vm? If so, why did you change the network adapter?

Windows 10 has a driver for the default NIC, which is certainly not PCnet-FAST III ! Change it back to the default setting (Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop) and Windows will load a driver for it. It should then get a 192.168.0.x IP and work just like the host does.
