Networking :: Easiest Way To Redirect External Traffic To VMWare Web Host On Same Machine?
Jul 14, 2009
Have done a bit of Googling around this but got totally swamped so will try here. Basically we are running a CentOS server which hosts a number of virtual hosts under Apache. Recently I needed to set up a development environment for another site using Ubuntu and have this running and accessible on the LAN from a VMWare image. I'm using bridged networking so the VMWare machine has its own IP on the LAN subnet.
I've set up a DNS to point to the external IP of the physical host but can't figure out how to route traffic requested on this domain to the VMWare host. I've basically tried two approaches (configuring a proxy web server and reverse proxy in an httpd.conf file and mucking around with iptables forwarding rules but without success.
Ideally I'd like somesite.somewhere.com to point to the VMWare IP but I could live with a custom port on the end if thats whats required.
To throw further complication into the mix I need reliable communication between the VMWare machine and external mail relay servers in order to debug any issues with mail bouncebacks, embargos etc.
Any idea what's the easiest way to accomplish this?

I have a WindowsXP virtual machine which I need to isolate from the host machine completely (have the host act as a bridge but not be visible on the IP layer at all.) It still needs to have Internet access. Obviously it has to be able to contact the router but I would like to be able to block port 80 (or even just block all SYN packets addressed to the router.) I also want to allow port forwarding from the router to the virtual machine. I can use basic iptables but this is way beyond me.
The host OS is probably going to be Debian Lenny but this is not built yet so if someone can recommend a different distro which is as lightweight as possible but will support VMWare, iptables and tcpdump then that would be great. I was thinking of Slackware but I have not used it in ages and from what I can remember their is no real package management.

I have "Server A" with real internet ip 1.2.3.4 (eth0) and lan ip 192.168.1.1 (eth1) There's also "Server B" with lan ip 192.168.1.2 (eth0), I'm running an Apache Web server on "Server B", so I want to redirect all traffic from IP 1.2.3.4 port 80 (Server A) to 192.168.1.2 port 80 (Server B), using the following rule:
[Code]....
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d 1.2.3.4 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.2:80 This actually works pretty good, from internet I can browse ttp://1.2.3.4 But the problem is that if I check the Apache logs, all incoming connections seems to come from 192.168.1.1 instead of showing the real source ip addresses (internet ip's) so this is screwing up all my web stats, I've been looking for hours and hours on how to make a transparent redirect, but can't find any info, I know there must be a way because my old WRT54G router which uses iptables could do it.

I was trying to find some free VPN service for access restricted pages. I found some working programs for win XP, but nothing works under Linux (TOR was too slow and now it is blocked). I was using program PacketiX under win, and it has also Linux version without GUI, but i was not able to make it work, because I dont know, how can I make firefox to connect through the VPN service.
I downloaded the client here [URL]
I was able to make it work with this guide [URL]
But i dont know, how to adjust routing table so I can connect to the internet through the VPN service.
ifconfig
Code:
ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:05:4e:4d:c5:5f
inet addr:192.168.1.100 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

how to redirect network traffic to a new IP address using IPtables. I am using Baffalo router and the rtos used is DD-WRT. Basically, I want it so that any connection going through my router to a specific IP (say, 192.168.11.5) will be redirected to another IP (say, 192.168.11.7) so any outgoing connections made by a program that is attempting to connect to192.168.11.5 will instead connect to 192.168.11.7.

I need to redirect all http/https/ftp traffic through the remote proxy, but when I changes connection settings in browser or in System->Preferences->Network Proxy it doesn't work well: instead of getting page content browser asks for saving some short (8 bytes) file with the same content for all requested pages. It happens in Chrome/Opera/Firefox. This proxy requires authorization and works on computer with Windos XP. It worked well when I was using Windows 7 and Proxifier, now I have Ubuntu 9.10 with all available updates.

I'm trying to use traceroute to view hop count between my machine and a specified external host but no matter what I give to it, it provides me the same output:
[Code]...
What am I doing wrong? Should I be disabling DNS caching? Is there a property I haven't set correctly? Just a small FYI, but I dual boot this computer with Win7 and it's tracert works fine. UPDATE: I also ran the command from a different network and it worked fine. I'm assuming I need a port forward then?

No-IP does not redirect to my IP after I added host in EHCP. EHCP is set to have the original IP of my pppoe and I tried with the 127.0.0.1 IP and the problem is still there.

I have a bit of a strange scenario. I have a machine with a fixed IP (192.168.0.108), running Linux. It has an external IP 99.99.99.8 via a 1:1 NAT on a Cisco ASA/router. Port 3389 (MS RDP) is open for 99.99.99.8. I want my Linux machine to listen on port 3389 and redirect all traffic to that port to a Windows machine (192.168.0.100). In this way, my Linux box is able to respond to requests on all ports, but port 99.99.99.8:3389 connects to Remote desktop on the Windows PC. I do not have access to the Cisco NAT config. I was able to get this setup to work by using an SSH tunnel.
I ran this command on the linux box:
ssh -L 3389:192.168.0.100:3389 ergosteur@192.168.0.108
Any ideas? Perhaps using iptables or something?

I have a linux router with 2 physical ISPs and a VPN tunnel that all my traffic passes through. I would like to setup a rule to redirect all traffic from one internal IP address (10.0.0.x) through the physical link only. My current script is as follows.
iptables -F
iptables -X
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[code]....
My goal is to do something similar to the mangle on the tor traffic, but for an entire host.

I have VMWare on a notebook, guest Windows running on Linux host. The network in that virtual machine is configured as NAT. I want to share/transfer files from Linux (host) to Windows (guest). So I leave sshd always running on the notebook, I go into Windows and run an SSH/SFTP program. My Wifi router has address 192.168.1.1, my desktop has address 192.168.1.2 and my notebook has address 192.168.1.3. On the notebook, that SSH/SFTP program connects to 192.168.1.3 (i.e. the notebook itself) and everything works fine. But it's a notebook, and when I leave home with it, 192.168.1.3 is no longer accessible. How can I let the guest OS connect to the host OS when I'm away from my Wifi network?

My special networking configuration.
The case: I'm running two dedicated Linux servers (openSUSE). Both servers are connected through public IP addresses to the internet. Each server hosts a VMware with another Linux inside.
SRV1 and SRV2 are the entry points for OpenVPN from external clients. SRV1 and SRV2 are although connected through an OpenVPN connection for save data sharing.
My problems:
SRV3 can't connect to SRV2 and SRV4.
SRV4 can't connect to SRV1 and SRV3.
External OpenVPN clients connected to SRV1 can't reach SRV2 and SRV4.
External OpenVPN clients connected to SRV2 can't reach SRV1 and SRV3.
Here are my configurations:

I have been using VMware Player for some time to host Fedora VMware images on Windows XP. I have been using Fedora 11 and 12 (both 32 and 64 bit) and recently started to use Fedora 13.
I use as a base the images provided by thoughtpolice. http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/
I usually install VMware tools and also keep the images updated (yum update) which sometimes changes the kernel.
I have recently had problems with the snapshots not having a network when I restore them. So far I don't have the problem with Fedora 11 and do have it with Fedora 12 (but used not to). I do have it with Fedora 13.
In each case the problem goes away when I uninstall the VMware tools and comes back when I install them again.
One of the symptoms is that SElinux complains about not being able to do something with /var/run/vmware-active-nics.
It looks to me that something is incorrect in the actions being taken when the snapshot is being restored. It does not happen every time and sometimes the network restores itself.
The network can be restored by rebooting the image.

I am running a Ubuntu Linux VM using VMware Player on a Windows 7 host.
I don't want to connect directly to the network or use NAT; I need host-only networking but also need Internet access. How can I do this?

I am running VMware workstation on a Linux host and WinXP guest using NAT. I have shared a folder on WinXP, and I am able to mount it on the linux host with:
mount -t smbfs -o username=Administrator,password=mypasswd //192.168.100.129/Shared /mnt/tmp
This works fine. However, I want to mount the same folder from a different linux machine (not the host).
I added port forwarding in /etc/vmware/vmnet8/nat/nat.conf:
[incomingtcp]
#445 = 192.168.100.129:445
If I run:
mount -t smbfs -o username=Administrator,password=mypasswd //external_ip_number/Shared /mnt/tmp
I am getting:
mount error 112 = Host is down
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
It doesn't work even if I try the above command from the linux host itself. It only works if I use the internal IP number. I suspect vmware is not forwarding port 445 but I am not sure how to verify it. I am not running smbd on the linux host, in case that make any difference. I didn't think that was required because the server is really on the WinXP and the linux is just a client.

I have a DELL running CentOS 5.4 with 2 active NICs, one with an external IP address (eth0) on 123.456.78.9 and another that is connected to our internal network (eth1), 192.168.2.x. When I reboot the server, everything works glowingly. External traffic is correctly routed over the external interface (eth0) and internal traffic over the internal interface (eth1). After some random amount of time, a couple of hours and sometimes a couple of days, all traffic starts getting routed over our internal network, so DNS requests fail, internet pages don't load, smtp connections fail, etc.
I'm assuming that everything that's not headed for our .1, .2 or VPN internal networks would go out the external interface. And why this works for a period of time and then stops working is beyond me. And when external traffic starts going over the internal interface, I just reboot and it starts working like it's supposed to again.

I was wondering what the best way of redirecting all traffic, not just http traffic, from my hosted web server on hostmonster (with a domain name) to my home server.... I wondered if it would be possible to do it with a simple script running on the hosted web server?? Also is there a way of getting round having all the ports open on the hosted web server that I want to use on my home server??

I have Fedora 12 (Fedora-12-i686-Live.iso) installed and booting in a VMWare workstation (version 6.5.3). I am able to login as the LiveUser.
I need information on how to access the drives on my host which is WindowsXP. My C: on the host is shared, and my network adapter for the VM is "NAT".
The only directory listed in my /mnt directory is "live".
My Fedora enviornment is "bare bones". There is nothing installed except for the original files from the "iso" loading procedure.
I also have been unable to get the VMWare tools installed, and I don't know if this is related. I don't mind bypassing this if this isn't required. My only desire right now is to access my C:

I completed the installation of VMWare Server 2.0.2 onto a CentOS 5.4 64-bit distribution. There is a VMware virtual machine file on the server in question, and I want to activate it through the application console.
I did not see anything readily apparent that would facilitate the importing of the virtual machine file. Does anyone have a procedure that can accomplish this task?

We host a web server in which we are hoping to implement some form of traffic redirection based on source IP address, and I am wondering whether the squid proxy built on iptables would be capable of managing this task? Essentially we are trying to redirect traffic from specific set of source IP ranges to a "Your IP has been restricted" type of page at a different IP/FQDN.

Have just installed Ubuntu 9.10 in Vmware workstation 6.5.1 and unable to connect to external sites, or servers (using NAT). I can ping on host name and IP but can't resolve either host or IP in browser (Receive message the connection has timed out). I can't ping the host (Windows 7 Professional) IP from the guest and vice versa. I use a mobile wireless network card, and my Windows operating systems work successfully in vmware. Currently in my VMNet8 properties I just have Obtain IP address and DNS Automatically (same as host).
