virtual machine - guest VM can't get IP address with bridge mode -


i have 1 guest vm(windows 7) running on vmware in mac osx host. when use "nat" mode, guest vm has no problem getting ip etc. connect internet. however, when change use "bridege" mode, guest os can't connect internet. how fix this?

 1. guest vm should connects vmnet0 in host.  2. vmnet0 bridges guest vm physical router.   3. since both guest vm , physical router have dhcp turned on, guest vm should able retrieve ip,gateway guest vm has ip address , couldn't on internet. 

i had same issue vmware workstation 11. apparently started happening after upgraded to: 11.1.2 build-2780323 although may have been addition of juniper or hamachi network client.

i had used "bridged" each vm after upgrade, encountered connectivity problems. after set nic nat, started working.

here how able resolve issue , start using "bridged" network adapter again:

  1. go file -> edit -> virtual network editor
  2. use change settings" button
  3. highlight first selection vmnet0
  4. under vmnet information choose "automatic setting" button
  5. you list of of adapters on system.
  6. uncheck ones might causing issue.
  7. click "apply" "ok"

now, "bridged" setting should work or @ least did me. go , change had changed nat them working.
