Hello,
I have limited networking knowledge and I am trying to set-up a network with domain. I have two iMacs, both running Fusion 8.
iMac A: has two virtual machines, one running windows 10 & one running windows server essential 2012
iMac B: has one virtual machine running windows 10.
I have tried bridged network setup for all 3 virtual machines previously and both windows 10 VM are able to connect to the domain on server 2012. However, I find the internet connection on all 3 computers to be slow and glitchy. On NAT, they all run very fast.
I have switched all 3 VM's to NAT, and the Windows 10 on iMac A is able to connect to Windows Server 2012 on iMac A. The Windows 10 on iMac B is not able to connect to Windows Server 2012 on iMac A. It does not see it, it cannot ping it.
What I have done so far is, configured the Windows Server 2012 to have a static IP and I have also forwarded some ports to IP of the the Windows Server 2012 per this website: VMWare Fusion: Assigning IP Addresses for NAT-Configured VMs via DHCP and Port Forwarding . I have also configured my router to give my iMac A a static IP address. I have also forwarded some ports to iMac A as well on my router.
I am able remote access both Windows 10 & Windows Server 2012 on iMac A from Windows 10 on iMac B.
So, is it possible to connect Windows 10 on iMac B to Windows Server 2012 on iMac A with NAT configuration. If so, how? Or I have to do the bridged configuration?
I very much appreciate your time and help. Thank you!
Jon
