I am running A Kali Linux VM in VMware Workstation 12 with a windows 10 host on a Dell Latitude E6520 Intel Core i7 with 8gb ram.
The windows is connected to the network via ethernet cable, 100mb broadband with a firewall running DHCP services. I have a valid internet connection on the host and other VMs (ubuntu and windows guest) are able to use the bridged network successfully without any issues.
Kali VM config.
2gb ram allocated
Bridged network connection showing connected at power on and current state connected.
Bridged network interface set to VMNet0 and manually configured to the connected physical adapter.
Kali Install
Linux kali 4.3.0-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.3.3-7kali2 (2016-01-27) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Network Settings as configured through "wired settings" IPV4 set to automatic (DHCP)
I am trying to get bridged networking to work in VMWare, when I select it the network settings show that I have a connection and I am able to ping various sites (google, kali.org) though I cannot browse websites and the specific problem is that "apt-get update" fails.
It is my first time posting here so please bear with me!
So I have installed the latest Kali VM from the kali website. I have made no changes to the Kali image apart from the networking settings.
I think it best to explain my goals. I want to build a customized ISO and have been following the instructions on the Kali website but came across a number of issues downloading the required files. Using NAT network connection in VMWare I found that our firewall was blocking some of the files. So, I bypassed the firewall and used nmap to confirm a free IP address before setting manual IP config within Kali to get out to the internet. This is where it starts getting complicated (for me at least!) nmap started coming back with "host is up" for all addresses in the range which I know is not true (This is still using NAT network in VMware).
I set the Network Connection to bridged. Nmap now works as it should and I can ping various address (google, http.kali.org). However, when I run apt-get update I receive a time out error and I cannot browse the web.
I have tried amending the virtual network Editor settings in VMware and set the bridged adapter to my physical ethernet adapter but this made no difference. I tried restoring default settings in the VMWare virtual network editor settings and I have re-installed vmware tools which was reported as succesful but still no change.
I really hope that someone out there knows a really simple fix as I'm now going round in circles aimlessly :-S, I have searched the Kali orums and docs, youtube and google and I can't seem to find anyone else with this specific problem.
Any help/advice is more than welcome as I am getting beyond my understanding. Even if someone could help me understand the files related to network config so that I can continue to troubleshoot it would probably make all the difference and stop me going slightly mad :-) Please see below further outputs that may or may not help in identifying the problem. (For this purpose it is back on the firewall giving out a 192.168.1 address)
Many thanks for anyone that can shed any light. (and if there is some critical information I have missed out please let me know!)
