isaac_204 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) So I have Kali Rolling 2016.2 installed on VMware and I'm trying to port forward but the port does not open. My host's IP is 192.168.1.8 and when I go to my routers page and put that IP and the port I want to open etc it works okay however when I put the virtual's machine IP which is 192.168.1.7 it doesnt work. So port forwarding with my host's IP works however port forwarding with the vitrual machine IP doesnt. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

greasystrangler Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Hi - I used Kali on VirtualBox and recall you had to 'bridge' the network adaptor in order to connect to the internet . When you ping/traceroute from the VM - where does it stop/fail ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaac_204 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Oh yeah right...Btw I managed to fix it. All I had to do was set up a listener first in order to open the port I had port forwarded. Nevertheless thank you for your precious time!
