I installed CentOS 6.5 On VMware Workstation With a static IP Addresses but I'm not able to use Internet connection!!

I applied all the steps performed in this post (From the official CentOS Website): https://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/CentOS6 but no change.

So, here is my configuration's files :

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

DEVICE=eth0
TYPE=Ethernet
UUID=e27d33be-dfc0-425c-a382-d21ed55dd3de
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=00:0C:29:C9:BE:CF
IPADDR=192.168.1.66
PREFIX=24
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
DNS1=8.8.8.8
DEFROUTE=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
IPV6INIT=no
NAME="System eth0"

/etc/sysconfig/network

NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=hadoop.opentuto.com
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
NTPSERVERARGS=iburst
DNS1=8.8.8.8

/etc/resolv.conf

# Generated by NetworkManager
search opentuto.com
# No nameservers found; try putting DNS servers into your
# ifcfg files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts like so:
#
# DNS1=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# DNS2=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# DOMAIN=lab.foo.com bar.foo.com
nameserver 8.8.8.8

When I ping 192.168.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 from the Centos box, I get these messages :

[root@hadoop Desktop]# ping 192.168.1.1
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

When I execute ifconfig from the CentOS box, I get this :

[root@hadoop Desktop]# ifconfig

          inet addr:192.168.1.66  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

          RX bytes:37648 (36.7 KiB)  TX bytes:37648 (36.7 KiB)

When I ping the VM ping 192.168.1.1 is Unreachable

Ad finally, arp -a dont show dont show the static IP addresses of the CentOS box, It show only this :

C:\Users\open>arp -a

    Interface : 192.168.1.7 --- 0xd

    Interface : 192.168.56.1 --- 0x14

    Interface : 192.168.80.1 --- 0x16

    Interface : 192.168.42.1 --- 0x17

My computer IP Addresses is : 192.168.1.6. My router IP Adresses : 192.168.1.1. I'm Using Bridged Network.

NB : I posted the same question on Stackoverflow, but one user told me, I have to move here because Stackoverflow is only for programming questions.

Thank you.

  • Can you ping 192.168.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 from the Centos box? – Paul Mar 03 '16 at 22:45
  • can you show your `ifconfig` output and is the MAC address added to the arp cache on your host machine if you ping the VM? `ping 192.168.1.66` followed by `arp -a` - you should see the 66 IP on the list. – Zina Mar 03 '16 at 22:48
  • @medhi Please [edit] your question to include any additional info, this type of thing is difficult to read in comments. Seems like the bridging setup on the VMWare side is not working. – Paul Mar 03 '16 at 23:07
  • @Paul I edited the post, You can read it now. Thank you – Mehdi IT Mar 03 '16 at 23:21
  • as @Paul mentioned, seems you have problems with the bridged networking. please go to the virtual network editor, check your bridged settings. I would try with "Restore Defaults" as I had similar problems with my NATed network and after resetting it and setting up again with desired settings it worked. – Zina Mar 03 '16 at 23:31
  • `[root@hadoop Desktop]# ping 8.8.8.8 PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=44 time=279 ms` (The Result of the ping) – Mehdi IT Mar 04 '16 at 00:26

After initial troubleshooting the problem was identified to be VMware Workstation's Network settings. Resetting with "Restore Defaults" in the Virtual Network Editor solved the issue.
