Issue with website hosted on Virtual Redhat Server.

[geekgadget]

Hello to all of you I have just joined this respective forum and I have a issue with website hosted on Virtual Redhat Server.

Scenario is like this
I have three virtual redhat server(R1,R2,R3) 5.0 on VMware workstation 7.0 installed on window 7(physical machine),
on R1 I have DNS server , On R2 I have Apache web server and I have hosted a website called "geekgadget.com" just for testing purpose, R3 is just a normal server nothing installed on it yet..

Problem :
I can access my website "geekgadget.com" from all of my three virtual redhat server but when I try to access it from some of my physical XP,window 7 machines as well as from virtual XP machine present on my local LAN, website cannot be accessed so I am not getting the point why it happens because I checked that my port 80 is listening .can anybody guide to to resolve this issue thanks in advance.

regards

How have you configured your VMware network? This is where people doing what you are run into such problems. Also, assuming you have an appropriately licensed copy of VMware (and RHEL), then contact VMware tech support for help with configuring the exposure of your virtual machines to your external network. I use VirtualBox for my virtual machines, and there are several network configuration options, such as a private NAT'd network only visible to the local virtual machines, or making them visible to your LAN as separate machines but sharing the ethernet NIC of the host system. What settings you use will determine how you will access the virtual machines from either the host OS, or other systems on your LAN or the Internet.
