Vmware Fusion 7 - Specify DHCP range?

Hey all

Just trying out 7 in my lab.

I am looking to set a specific DHCP 7 for NAT, but i cannot find it anywhere.

Did this change or move?

What am I missing?

Thanks,

TCG

NM: Looks like i have to edit a file by hand and modify the VMNET1 or VMNET8 and put what ranges I want in there.

You are looking for "/Library/Preferences/VMware\ Fusion/vmnet8/dhcpd.conf" But range configuration in "DO NOT MODIFY SECTION". If you want to add static ip for specific machine you can add following:

host vmnet8 {

        hardware ethernet 00:0c:29:09:b6:a7;

        fixed-address 172.16.103.42;

        option domain-name-servers 172.16.103.2;

        option domain-name "";

        option routers 172.16.103.2;

}

You can find hw address in network adapter settings. Ip address should be in your subnet defined in "/Library/Preferences/VMware\ Fusion/networking" file.
