Map Physical NIC to VM

Hi

I have 3 VMs and installed 3 NICs to my motherboard, How can I have a setup where 1 VM maps to to 1 NIC card ?

Thanks

Workstation does not support any form of PCI pass-through.

One workaround is create three VMnet in bridged mode and map each VMnet to a different physical network interface.

Hi

Thanks for your comment, I already tried this I have managed to resolve the problem.

The issue was nothing to do with my NICs or VM, Actually I was using VMs which ran XP and I figured out the XP by default block echo\icmp requests so that was the reason why I was unable to ping the VMs

FYI

  • Start > Run > firewall.cpl >Advanced > Click "Settings" under ICMP
  • The only option that should be checked is "Allow incoming echo request"
