I have tried to change my Linux VM from NAT to bridged (so that I can connect to the VM from external machines) and think I have followed the instructions correctly, but I am unable to get an IP address on the same network and I cannot reach the VM. I haven't tried yet, but wonder if I have to set up a new VM and set it to bridged from the beginning?? Thoughts? Thank you.
