VMware player allow to connect to network with NAT, Host-only and Bridged. I can access internet with NAT configuration but cannot access LAN network so I switch to Bridged. But after switch to Bridged, I cannot access internet in virtual machine.
I found out the problem is: VMWare player using Hamachi interface network adapter in host OS when configurated with Bridge.
+ Hamachi was installed and then started when host OS starts up.
+ VmWare with Bidged: there is configurate parameter to automatically select network adapter in host OS, and it auto select Hamachi adapter.
Solution:
+ VmWare workstation: Edit > Virtual Network Editor. Select Bridged adapter and then change Bridged: Automatic ... to physical network adapter in host OS.
+ VmWare player: configure the interface bindings with utility.
In order to extract the utility manually, follow the steps below:
- Open an elevated command prompt (Run as Administrator).
- Browse to the directory that contains the installer file.
- Run the installer as follows
- VMware-player-3.0.0-203739.exe /e c:\vmware
Your actual file name may be different, depending . Use the actual installer file name
This command extracts the contents of the installer in to the c:\vmware folder.
- Browse to c:\vmware
- Open the file 'network.cab'. This is a compressed file that should open in most file compression software.
- Extract the contents of the cab file in to the VMWare Player directory. In my installation that is C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Player.
Once the file is extracted, the setup is quite easy.
- Browse your VMware Player installation folder. (C:\Program Files\VMware Player).
- Find and run the file 'vmnetcfg.exe'.
- Highlight the VMnet0 interface (at the top of the page).
- In the VMnet information area ensure that 'Bridged (connect VMs directly to the external network)' is selected.
- On the 'Bridged to:' line, select the interface your Pico Base Stations will be connected to.
- Click 'OK'.
