I know this is something of a FAQ but several hours spent searching Google and these forums have given me nothing that works.
All solutions I have seen assume Windows as host and (something) as guest.
In my case the host is Linux (CentOS 6.4) and guest is Windows XP.
The host has two NICs, one on a 10.x.x.x network and the other on a 192.168.x.x network. The virtual network adapter in the guest connects to the 10.x.x.x network. I want it on the 192.168.x.x network.
I'd be happy if I added another virtual network adapter and one of them connected to each network, but both of them connect to the 10.x.x.x network (with different 10.x.x.x IP numbers).
The solutions I have seen indicate that under Virtual Machine Settings->Network Adapter->Network Connection, you click the "Configure Adapter" button and charge ahead from there. That would be great except I have no "Configure Adapter" button or anything like that. I do have an "Advanced" button but that just allows me to throttle incoming and outgoing traffic and set a new MAC address, that's all.
Since the host is Linux, I also have no equivalent to vmnetcfg.exe, at least none I can find.
So, where do I go from here?
VMware Player is version 6.0.0 (freshly upgraded from 5.0.2 this afternoon). I tried it with version 5.0.2 and got the same thing.
Thanks...
