    Hi,  John

    I dont think so it works, Instaling WAS on Linux as you mentioned and accessing It in Windows IE , even through Bridged network .

    If any suggestions/Help from others in Extension is most apprectiated.


    Cheers.

    Hi John,
     
       Using bridged network you are sharing your host (where VMWare is installed, in your case Windows) with your client VM (WAS in Linux).
       
       I have done a lot of times and only need to give and static IP in the client (linux) (or DHCP but) of the same network of the host (Windows). Then you can access from Windows to Linux, take in mind that the adminconsole is Web so no mather the Operating System
       
       You need to check:
         

    •      If your both (host and VM) are in the same network. ipconfig (windows) and ifconfig (linux) to check the IPs



    •      If both are in the same network if some Firewall is blocking the connection.  netstat -na and look for SYN_SENT connections



       If for whatever reason you can give and static IP (normally because you haven't or because security issues) I use HOST Connection in Virtual Machine.  Edit your hosts file and give an IP address (192.168.1.X f.e) to your VM (MyVM f.e) then start the VM and access from web console typing

       http(s)://MyVM:ADMIN_PORT/ibm/console

       Hope this helps.  Tell us if you need more support.

    Regards

    Hi,

      which is your problem? that you have WAS installed on a linux Virtual Machine that is running on Windows and you can't access from windows to adminconsole?
     
      Edit your virtual machine properties, and under net select Host instead of Bridge.
     
      Edit your host file C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
     
      and write your VM Ip and hostname f.e
     
      192.168.1.10 MyVM
     
      then with VM started and WAS started type in your browser:
     
      http://MyVM:ADMIN_PORT/ibm/console
     
      Hope this helps.  
     
    regards
