Hi all,

After 3 days of trial, I am posting this. I have installed VMware workstation pro on windows 10 and created one VM with RHEL 7.3 OS. I have configured two network adapters one for host and other is NAT. unfotrunately the server is not getting to the internet. I am not sure whats the problem. can anyone help me with the issue

Have you checked network settings (IP / netmask / gateway) on both NICs?

Check to make sure nameserver entries are correct:

You're way out of date, currently point release is 7.8 (and everything older then 7.7 is out of support).

so thats the problem ?

But here it shows connected

It could be.
As Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a commercial distribution not too many of the hobbyists here are running it (unless they got a paid subscription at their work), but:
1. your problem might be one that has already been solved in a newer point update
2. if it's still there in 7.7 or 7.8, you can request Red Hat support for it
Of course this does mean you're running RHEL legally, with a paid subscription.

If you're using the free clone CentOS, on the other hand, there is NO support like that for it and RHEL/CentOS is different enough from most other distro's that I wouldn't expect too many good answers here. My own RHEL/CentOS experience is 6 years out of date and restricted to releases 5 and 6 (which was the latest one when I retired in 2014).

I’m guessing this is an issue with the network configuration in the VM, based on other threads I’ve seen on similar issues. I don’t know the answer, as I’m not running a VM, but I don’t think it’s related to the version of RHEL, ‘tho I agree that it should be more current. That I’ll probably happen automatically once the ‘net connectivity issue is resolved.

Has something to do with bridged, or not bridged. Mayhaps someone who knows better will jump in here.

I’m running CentOS 7, and I’m not a “hobbyist.” Just sayin’

I never said you were <grin>

And at the university we were running CentOS too (against our RHEL servers) as more then 1500 desktop licenses for the students would just cost too much. But through the IT department (who ran those servers) we could get RHEL support.

This surely network configuration related issue. Kindly revisit gateway configuration which you assigned for NAT card. Ensure you are able to ping gateway.

Hi,
Thanks for your replies. I installed VMware workstation PRO latest version and there itseems we have to change virtual Network editor settings and after that I configured the same IP for VMnet1 on the NIC card and then finally it worked.
And ofcourse I used the old RHEL version 7.3
