How can I change the local IP a virtual machine in VmWare NAT DHCP?

Hi all. Maybe someone knows how to change a local IP for machine in DHCP VmWare connected via NAT? I tried different variants with the dhcp config file (vmnetdhcp.conf), I looked in the network editor, nothing works.

I haven't tried this myself but if it looks like the DHCP leases are stored on vmnetdhcp.leases which would be where you find the vmnetdhcp.conf as well.

You may have to stop the VMware NAT and VMware DHCP service in services.msc (assuming your host is Windows) and any other VM before manually editing the file. On a Linux host, these would be vmnet daemons.
