Custom network on a shared VMs

[olesen85]

Hey

How can i create a custom network on a shared vm.

[continuum · Accepted solution]

you cant do that with the GUI

so use a texteditor and edit the vmx-file directly

ethernet1.present= "true"
ethernet1.startConnected = "true"
ethernet1.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet1.connectionType = "custom"
ethernet1.vnet = "vmnet5"

the 5 lines above add a custom networkcard connected to  vmnet5 - just an example

Where can i find this file?

In the folder where you created the VM.

have you misconfigured your explorer to hide file-extensions ?

thats the doubleclickable file inside the directory of your VM that will start the VM
the extension is *.vmx
