Multiple NICs and vmnetcfg not working correctly

[KirkGoins]

Running VMPlayer 4.0.1 on top of WIN7 64bit on a Lenovo T520. Internal GB nic and a USB Attached GB nic.

I have extracted and placed the files from the network cab in my VMPlayer folder and can run the program.

I assign my internal nic to 1 bridged network ( happens to be on 192.x.x.x) and the other to the USB nic ( 10.x.x.x )

192.x.x.x network is used to access local devices and has no default gateway assigned. 10.x.x.x network has a default gateway and I can access the internet etc

Even though I assign each VMNETx to a specific NIC, once I bring up the VM ( running XP ) it appears that from with in the VM it is accessing only the USB based nic. If I set the nics in XP to DHCP I get addresses on both nics from just 1 network

Help?

Player does not give a UI to change to custom VMnet.  You must manually edit the vmx file to specify which VMnet to use.

Since it appears that vmnetcfg will not handle this... Does any have an example of what statements must be in the .vmx file for a windows7 host and XP Guest?  I see some linux based examples.

Thanks

As an example:

ethernet0.present = "TRUE"
ethernet0.connectionType = "custom"
ethernet0.vnet = "vmnet5"

Change "vmnet5" to the appropriate vmnet.

Thank You Very Much! That appears to have fixed my issue.
