Accessing linux virtual server via hostname

$

Hi,

I'm using Fusion professional 6.0.2 and I have two issues:

 

1. I installed a CentOS 6.5 virtual server and another one, Openfiler.

I can't access ssh to the machines via hostname, nor ping it by hostname. It is only possible via IP.

I don't want to change my hosts file, or the virtual server hosts file.

The virtual server network is configured to bridged mode. I'm using a home router with DHCP enabled.

I read that I need to enable "DHCP_HOSTNAME" in the DHCP client of the virtual server: Configuring Linux Static DHCP Clients by Sending Host Name

I tried and now I see the hostname in the DHCP table in the router, but It still does not work.

If I don't enable "send-hostname", I don't even see the hostname in the DHCP table.

 

*This issue also occurred in VMware ESXI 5.5 free VM, in which I installed linux VM.

 

2. The VMs' resolution is very low, and VMware Fusion doesn't automatically choose a higher resolution, even after the installation of the integration tools.

I restarted the VMs after the integration tools installation.


Please assist.

Thanks!
