WM Ware Workstation 16 pro how to assaign DNS Server to the DHCP Client

Hi Guys,

I added 2 Windows Server to my Workstation and gave them static IP adresses. 

I changed this in vmnetdmcp.conf file

host VMnet10 {
    hardware ethernet 00:0C:29:F0:7C:73;
    fixed-address 10.0.0.4;
}

 

host VMnet10 {
    hardware ethernet 00:CC:A9:F0:7C:73;
    fixed-address 10.0.0.4;
}

Now i want to configure in vmnetdmcp.conf file that they are the DNS servers in the Network to.

How can i do so?

If you give both of your VM servers the same IP address, that will not work. I suggest you read up a little on networks and Windows server/domain. I would not fool with that file, use the network manager. I would start with one server,static IP and configure it as a domain controller (if you are wanting a domain) and give it the DNS server role. If I wanted Internet access, I would probably go bridged. Then set your other VM's to use static IP's with that server as DNS server. Then add the other server.
