VMware Networking solutions: host-only shared Internet

I. Description of requirements

VMware by bridging the way can Sisu network, but the IP address of the virtual machine and physical network card in the same network segment, the Internet environment different virtual machine must follow the IP address is very troublesome, so it is best to use the host-only way to the Internet.

Especially when doing architectural experiments, if you set up a dual Nic ... Often have a variety of problems, with host-only this way is much simpler, both in different network environments using fixed IP address, but also access to internal and external network.

In general, the host-only mode is just the network established between the virtual machine and the host, visible only to the host, but using the Internet Connection Sharing feature on the host through the Windows system, you can have the virtual machine connect to the Internet or another network.

Second, the solution

1
Edit > virtual Network Editor This step is to confirm the network card name VMnet1 and network segment of the virtual NIC Host-only 192.168.8.0

2
Right-click on the local Connection "Properties"

3
"Share", select host-only that network card, click Confirm VMnet1 NIC IP will become 192.168.137.1

4
The right mouse button restores the VMnet1 to Figure 1 in 192.168.8.0 segment

5
Set the virtual machine's IP to 192.168.8.2, gateway and DNS all point to 192.168.8.1

6
The virtual machine is online via the Host-only network segment.
END
