Just noticed when I start the VM, the vmserver console reports

'Could not get interface address for vmnet1: Cannot assign requested address
Virtual device Ethernet0 will start disconnected.'

I also contacted support and they won't help, I think that's a but poor as they force you to use "host-only" networking mode. We have vmware servers in other DC's that work just fine.

and the routing table:

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
94.23.16.254 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
default 94.23.16.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

this and the VirtualMAC configuration should be enough.

I rebooted and the server accepted the command

# route add default dev eth0

However I still can not ping the GW.

Do you have an example config for eth0 on the vps please?

Thanks for your help

Can you please copy the output here, or make a screenshot.

Mant thanks for the reply.

However when i enter that command i get:

defauult: Host name lookup failure

And defauUlt is not a typo.

I can not ping the gw either.

Any ideas?

After you configured your network on your VPS, you have to route it to the main network:

# route add default dev eth0

and after that you should have the network on the vps. This setting will be lose after rebooting so do add this in following file : /etc/init.d/network

add it in the end of the file before the last line:

CWD=`route add default dev eth0`

Hi has anyone set up a centos vmware vps with netoworking?
I tired to follow the ovh guide but its for debian?
Once on the host I can not ping the gateway even?

the guide (http://help.ovh.com/VMware) say's

file /etc/network/interfaces:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address # the VM's address
netmask 255.255.255.255
post-up /sbin/ip route add "Dedicated.Server.IP.but.end.in.254" dev eth0 #The gateway of the server
post-up /sbin/ip route add default via "Dedicated.Server.IP.but.end.in.254"

but on centos the file is the name of the network card and is like this example:

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
HWADDR=00:30:48:33:bc:33
IPADDR=202.54.1.5
GATEWAY=202.54.1.3
NETMASK=255.255.255.248
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6ADDR=2607:f0d0:1002:0011:0000:0000:0000:0002
IPV6_DEFAULTGW=2607:f0d0:1002:0011:0000:0000:0000: 0001

e.g you set it up like this

Can anyone help please?
