I am on Windows 8.1, VMware Workstation. I read many articles about assigning static IPs to guest OSs, which ask to modify the vmnetdhcp.conf file. However I have some doubts. (I have guest OSs connected to VMnet0 Auto-bridging network)
1. When I open up vmnetdhcp.conf file on my machine, it contained virtual ethernet segement settings, but none of my guest OSs:
# Virtual ethernet segment 1
# Added at 02/20/15 13:27:33
subnet 192.168.162.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.162.128 192.168.162.254; # default allows up to 125 VM's
option broadcast-address 192.168.162.255;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.162.1;
option domain-name "localdomain";
default-lease-time 1800;
max-lease-time 7200;
}
host VMnet1 {
hardware ethernet 00:50:56:C0:00:01;
fixed-address 192.168.162.1;
option domain-name-servers 0.0.0.0;
option domain-name "";
}
# End
So was confused should I put my guest OS settings here.
2. Also articles asks something put like this:
host ubuntu
{
hardware ethernet 00:0C:29:16:2A:D6;
fixed-address 192.168.84.132;
}
I can find hardware ethernet in my .vmx file. However what about ubuntu. I have several VMs which are created from copy pasting same original Fedora VM. Thus all these VMs have same name (Fedora 20 new 64-bit.vmx) for their .vmx file. Should I put same name if I have to configure static IPs for all those VMs?
3. Also notice this name have spaces in it. Will this work?
