Hello,
System Information:
Computer: new 15" macbook pro
OS: Mac OSX 10.9.4
Fusion Pro v7 30 day trial
Guest System: Windows 7 Enterprise
Work router: Cisco 2921 (2900 series)
Home router: Standard FIOS router.
What I want:
I work on several developer projects. Right now I am working on one that uses PHP and SQL Server 2012 -- strange I know. I need to have my windows system running in the background so I can test my PHP code on my host machine (mac).
Example: I name my windows machine "fusionvm" I should be able to go to http://fusionvm on my host machine and access the site.
Problem(s):
1. I am able to connect via bridged mode @home or even tethered to my phone however at work I just get a 169 address and it won't work. I even try using an external USB wifi adapter and it still won't work. What needs to be done on the Cisco router side to open this up? I asked our network team and they are dumbfounded as to why it's not working saying it's open and shouldn't be blocked.
-- Temp Solution: Install the WiFi USB adapter on my windows machine and connect to the network that way.
2. Because I installed the USB WiFi adapter on my machine I had our network team set my up with a static IP via the mac address of it so I can access my machine locally. The issue here is for some reason every couple of hours I lose connection to the WiFi on my guest (Windows 7 machine). I am unable to see any Wireless Networks unless I enable / Disable my Wi-Fi Adapter in windows.
3. Every time I shutdown my VM I have to unplug and re plug in my USB WiFi Adapter for windows to see it. When I do this Fusion prompts me asking if I want to connect to my MAC or PC. I always select PC. Anyway to make it automatically show up so I dont have to keep disconnecting and re-connecting it?
4. When using Wi-Fi mode in the VM I am unable to see my computer name but I can see the IP so going to the IP gives me the webpage I am looking for but the name (fusionvm) does not show up. -- I can have my network team fix this on their end but it's strange that it's not auto resolving?
Thanks,
