ESXi Virtual Machine networking


default user

Question

Hi everyone,

I know there several posts out there on Virtual Machine LAN networking, but I haven't come across any referencing VMware ESXi.  Was hoping I could start one.

Here's what I'm trying to do...

I have a ESXi host running vSphere 6.5.  On it are several VM guests running Windows 10 (build 1903).  All VMs are using VMNET3 virtual NICS, w/8GB RAM, and quad core vprocs.

I'm having a heckuva time getting LAN networking to run for any CNC game (Dune 2000, TD, TS, RA - doesn't matter, symptoms are the same).

On the VM, all games install successfully using the latest builds.  All will run without error too.  

On the example below, I'm running Dune 2000.  As you can see in 'screenshot 1', it does not allow me to join or create a new game.  What's interesting is that the IRC client does not appear to load despite being previously installed.   The Windows firewall is turned off.

 

Now, by contrast, on a regular laptop - the same game installer will allow me to create a new game or join an existing one.

I welcome your thoughts.
