Ok thanks for the detailed explanation, so much to learn in this field. You mentioned if someone would send package from outside the network intended for the Guest the NAT wont know it is intended for the Guest. If I have have devices in the network that initiate connection with the virtual machine, can I somehow forward this to the virtual machine? I see under NAT settings I can add ports to a Guest static(?) Ip address, is this something I can use to enable this? Let say we have a html5 based application on a device in the network, it sends a package request to the Guest IP address with https so I add port 8433 in NAT network settings to a guest Ip-address. Would this work? 

Thank you so much for the help with this, would like to mark every one of your post as the correct answer. Now it works, the final problem was that I hadn't selected the right setting in the settings for the guest. I had to set it to Custom and then select my NAT connection(VMnet3).   How does the "NAT" selection in the Guest settings work? What's it for?   Thanks again for the help  

Hello, Thanks for your feedback. Tried your suggestions but still having problems with this NAT functionality. Entered the IP range you suggested.   Did a ipconfig/all on the Guest. It does not look like the NAT connects with my Guest?

Hello Ray_CJ, Thanks for answer, I've tried to follow your advices, I feel I'm almost there but cant make it work on the Guest. I can ping devices from my host at the moment but not from the guest. The IP scope for my devices on network are 10.179.89.xxx Se current setup   IPconfig on the host from command prompt One further note, my costumer have DHCP enabled on the network so I receive a IP-address but I can also set a static one.  Is it something I'm missing?

Thanks for the help RDPetruska, finally solved it! Sorry for posting in the wrong section... Had to install VM workstation pro V12(it automatically uninstall VMplayer). Copy vmnetcfg.exe from "program (X64)" and store it somewhere else. Uninstall workstations. Install VMplayer. Copy vmnetcfg.exe to VMplayer folder under "program (X64)". Then I just followed your earlier tip, Done! :smileylaugh:

Hi I don't seem to have this "VMware Network Configuration Utility" on my computer, is it some standalone installer? I only have VMplayer 12 installed. Tried to google it but cant find anything for VMplayer 12.

Hi and thanks for answering! What do you mean by "Disable auto-bridging, Select one of your physical NICs for VMnet0"? Where do I do this? In my machine settings I've the following settings, can you maybe explain more in detail? Thanks!

Hi and thanks for the quick answer. I've tried the NAT functionality now but how do I know which connection on the host it redirects to? I shall try to explain what I would like to have, I work in the industry-sector and usually when I'm out on sites mostly of the time the equipment I've to connect to have static IP-addresses and are on private networks with only "dumb" switch so therefore I've to set at static IP-address on my computers LAN-port to access the equipment with the programs they require. Idly I would like to have a network adapter pointing to  my host WiFi connection and another one to my LAN connection for the static address. How would you done this setup? is it possibly? Best would be if I could set the Static IP-address on my guest cause there is where I set the path in the programeditors to the equipments. Your setup sounds sound and I think I'll copy it for the use of my VPN connections!
