![]() ![]() By default, VMware Player uses DHCP to dynamically assign IP address while using NAT. In most of cases, I use NAT for networking because the virtual machine can have Internet access which allows me to install additional software as needed. This blog has a nice explanation on these three settings if you want to get more details. In the latest 5.0.1, I also found a new one: LAN Segment. ![]() ![]() If you run VMware Player, you would have 3 networking options for virtual machines running there: Bridged, NAT, Host-Only. Okay, so it seems my original advice should have worked… maybe you had the gateway incorrect? I’m hoping someone can help me set it so that my Ubuntu Server can claim a static IP (I’m trying to use one that is OUTSIDE the DHCP reserved IPs.) I’m at work, now, and don’t have access to it… but if you need to know anything about the installation, I’ll be at home, tonight, and can look things up. Either it says that the instance is unknown, or it won’t restart. I’ve modified config files, and tried to restart the networking service, only to have it fail. Some instructions indicate to remove the networking manager or remove it and replace it with Wicd. Well, Ubuntu Server doesn’t come with a GUI, and I really don’t want to install one. Unfortunately, many instructions are how to do it from the GUI. I’m trying to set a static IP for the server, and I’ve Googled for the instructions, looked at several posts/articles and followed the directions, but it just isn’t working. I’m also setting up Ubuntu Server for the first time (using Trusty 14.04.1). I’m setting up VMware for the first time. ![]()
