Creating multiple network adapters on workstation Pro using Windows 10

[msweisberg18]

If I have a standard dell windows 10 laptop that has both wifi and ethernet, is it possible to be connected to each at the same time and dictate a different network for each? Let's say for the wifi the network is a 192.168.1.x vlan and the ethernet is a 192.168.3.x vlan...is this possible?

I ask this because I want to use VMware workstation on this laptop and spin up a vm or two, but those VMs need to be able to connect to a different vlan than the host, so I need to use the second adapter to create a new virtual adapter.

You can create several bridged vmnets.
If you do so - then none of them should have automatic bridging enabled.

And you need to use the long style notification in the vmx-file.

ethernet0.present= "true"
ethernet0.startConnected = "true"
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet0.connectionType = "custom"
ethernet0.vnet = "vmnet5"

The shorthand version like

ethernet0.present= "true"
ethernet0.startConnected = "true"
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet0.connectionType = "bridged"

does not work with more than one bridged vmnets.
