Sofether VPN Server vs ESXI 5.1

[dana1975]

hi all
i've got an ESXI 5.1 host. i installed a VM machine that runs windows server 2008 R2 on it.
when i try to establish a connection with my softether vpn server i received the network connection problem.
i installed another SoftEther VPN Server on a physical machine and its worked fine.
what the problem and which parameter do i need to change on my ESXI or my VM Machine ?
thank you in advanced.

Does you're VM has a bridged network connection ?

[dana1975]

Ive got only a local bridge in softether between softether virtual switch and vm lan nic
Do i need to install a bridge on my host ?
Could you explain me more ?

[mesa57]

No, I mean you're VM network type (to the host).

[dana1975]

You means i need to install a bridge between physical nic in host and virtual nic on ? I pass everything directly to vm ?

[mesa57]

No in vsphere configuration of the virtual machine you can configure you're network as NAT or bridge.

Could you turn on promiscuous mode on your VM network settings?

I using ESXi 6.0, I have this issue too. I can get the IP settings from DHCP server , but I can't ping any hosts and can't browse the internet. I am not so familiar ESXi, Anyone can tell me how to change the network setting from NAT to bridge?

I'm not sure using 172.0.0.0/24 is a good idea as technically, that's not private address space. Your tech is correct.

172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 would be valid.

I'd re-address to 172.16.x.x and go from there.

What DHCP server does provide IP addresses for client?
