VMWare : Do's & Donts  


  • VMWare by default creates two Vitual Network Adapters: VMNet1 & VMNet8.
  • VMNet1 is useful for host-only connection.
  • VMNet8 is for NAT access.
  • Donot change the IP domains which are assigned by default. You could wreck the DHCP, DNS & Routing domian that VMWare creates.
  • To change these settings, please use: Edit > Virtual Network Settings > NAT.
  • By default, the IP Address .2 with the VMNet8 segment, is the IP address of VMWare's DNS & router.
