Oracle Linux server 7.7 not reachable

My configuration:

Vmware workstation 15.5 with windows 10 PRO

Connection: Bridged

My Host machines IP configurations are DHCP from router and is 192.168.1.95

Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :

   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::745e:cfd5:b99c:76b9%10

   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.95

   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0

   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

Not sure if this is required :

Not sure why my guest OS Oracle linux server is not receiving IP. As i am running this in headless mode, i would like to access services within host using an IP.

Can you experts see something?

The virbr0 adapter address of 192.168.122.1 is on a different subnet from the other IPs, which doesn’t make any sense given the bridged network configuration.

Is that adapter in the Linux OS set to use a fixed IP or DHCP? If fixed, you need to change the IP to be on the 192.168.1.x subnet.

Thanks. Fixed it

have to go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

take a backup of ifcfg-enp0s3 and create ifcfg-ens33

contents within the file is

restrated machine and is working as expected.

eventhough ifconfig still has an inet not in my range, i could get ens33 to communicate with host.
