My PC has two NIC's. eth0 is used to
connect to other PC's on a private local network via a switch. All
PC's on this network have static IP's. eth1 is used to connect to the
internet and it is assigned an IP automatically.
I require my virtual machines to be
bridged with the local network (eth0) and therefore have the
following two lines in my vmx files.
ethernet0.connectionType = "bridged"
ethernet0.vnet = "Vmnet0"
When I run the virtual machine the
bridge seems to be setup with eth1. If I leave the WAN cable
unplugged during start up the bridge is correctly setup with eth0 and
I can then plug the cable back in to achieve the correct set up.
Why does VMPlayer automatically decide
to use eth1 sometimes instead of eth0? And how can I stop it doing it
and use manual mappings?
Running XP VM's on Ubuntu 9.04
+Have tried both VMPlayer 2.5.2 and
2.5.3+
