Hi,
I offloaded the DHCP role from our router to our SBS Essentials 2011 using Sandeep's video. It all seemed to go well. One machine is giving me some problems though. I should note that this machine was having issues before the DHCP role was switched to the server.
The machine is called "Antec1200". It is running Windows 7 Pro x64, and is hosting multiple VM's, all of which work flawlessly and can be pinged, etc. The problem is, I can't reach or ping Antec1200 computer from the other computers on the network.
I looked at the Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing Center. It shows it's connected to "Multiple networks" - 2 to be exact.
1. Gobruins.local (this seems right because it is our local domain).
2. Unidentified network (public network). And to the right of this entry, I see "VMware Network Adapter VMnet1" and "VMWare Network Adapter VMnet8". These adapters also show up in the Device Manager as well, and they also sport IP addresses that don't jibe with our network. They seem to use pools like 192.168.206 and 192.168.40, when all our PC use the 192.168.1.xxx pool.
I think #2 is the source of the problem. Can anyone tell me what this network entry is/does? Is this something that's necessary to host the VM's? It seems unlikely because all the VM's use "bridged" mode. Is these entries are not needed, how do I go about deleting them safely?
Thanks.
