I've recently acquired a dell poweredge 1950 server, and have installed ESXi visualization on it, inside this i have 2 network groups, 'Internal' and 'External'. I want the External group to be my internet facing VM's, which will consist of nothing but a NAT routing server for the internal network and a management 'hop' server for accessing vSphere client remotely, so that i only use 2 IP's and a single switch port.
the VM named 'Router' has DHCP, DNS and NAT roles installed on it, the DHCP and DNSappear to work correctly (apart from a warning in the DNS - event id 414, claiming that 'The DNS server computer currently does not have a DNS domain name', due to the fact its domain zone is just 'local' rather than an actual domain name, with it being a local setup i figured that was fine.
It has 2 NIC's,
one with the config:
Name: External
IPv4 Address : 192.168.0.200 (Statically assigned IP)
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 192.168.0.1 (address of my home router)
and the second:
Name: Internal
IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: N/A (This is blank, could this be my problem?)
Any help would be appreciated, if you need additional information just ask.
Thanks!
