Hello,

I am searching how to deactivate DHCP in VMware Fusion 5 except in Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion i don't find the file to edit for that

Any idea ?

Thanks,

Best Regards

Have a look at: Modifying the DHCP settings of vmnet1 and vmnet8 in Fusion (1026510)

Change, as an example: answer VNET_1_DHCP yes to answer VNET_1_DHCP no

But the probleme is in /Library/Preferences/VMware\ Fusion/

i don't have a file "network" just a directory "Virtual Machines" and a file "vmInventory"

I strongly suggest you reread and follow the directions in the previously linked VMware KB Article!

The vmInventory files exist at, "/Library/Application Support/VMware/VMware Fusion/Shared/vmInventory" and "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmInventory" not in "/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/" where the networking file is for VMware Fusion 4 and later!

The file must exist somewhere. Try using this command in the Terminal Application to find it:

find / -name networking -print

The file should exist exactly where stated in Modifying the DHCP settings of vmnet1 and vmnet8 in Fusion (1026510) based on the version of VMware Fusion being used!

Not sure what you're trying to say here however for the record my reply, Re: How to deactivate DHCP in VMware Fusion 5 was the correct answer!
