I am trying to share my virtual machine with a friend over internet and was unable to configure (Host/VM/RG) successfully. My router/gateway shows my VM as inactive and can't connect to VM, even though I can access my VM on locally.
My setup is as follows:
Host: WinXP - SP3
- with two network adapters (Wired & Wireless) NICs. Only one NIC used.
- VMPlayer 3.0
Guest VM: TurnKey Linux
- Bridged Network Configuration
Currently, I am using only one NIC (Wireless) on my host. The VM is also using the same NIC. I was able to configure it as Bridged Network and connect to VM with in local network (including host).
Since, I am having problems with RG and have unused NIC, I would like to configure one NIC for on my host machine and configure the other NIC for my VM. Something like this,
Host: WinXP - SP3
- with Ethernet enabled & Wireless disabled
- VMPlayer 3.0
Guest VM: TurnKey Linux
- with Ethernet disabled & Wireless enabled
- What network configuration?
Is it possible? if so, how to do it?
Thanks for your help.

the tool that you need to do this does not install with 3.0.0 - wait for next release.
there are two workarounds for this - see related post "vmetcfg.exe is missing"

continuum is correct, though there are possible workarounds (which I will provide if need be).
Thanks for posting this request, because it provides concrete fuel for the re-evaluation of the aforementioned decision.
