Workstation 7
I have edited the settings in the vmx for the MAC address per the follwing guidance:
-
To assign the same MAC address to any virtual machine manually
1 Use a text editor to remove from the configuration (.vmx) file the three lines that
begin with the following:
ethernet[n].generatedAddress
ethernet[n].addressType
ethernet[n].generatedAddressOffset
In these options, is the number of the virtual network adapter, for example, 0.
2 Add the following line to the configuration file above the UUID lines in the file:
ethernet[n].address = 00:50:56:XX:YY:ZZ
In this line, the fourth pair of numbers, XX, must be a valid hexadecimal number
between 00h and 3Fh, and YY and ZZ must be valid hexadecimal numbers between
00h and FFh. You must use the above format because Workstation virtual
machines do not support arbitrary MAC addresses.
A value for XX:YY:ZZ that is unique among your hard‐coded addresses avoids
conflicts between the automatically assigned MAC addresses and the manually
assigned addresses.
-
Yet, the MAC gets changed back to the original settings each time i power on the VM.
Any ideas?
