How to setup bridged host-only network in VMWare Workstation 7
Hallo,
I have a hosted server with fix IP and some additional IPs to setup additional VMs. Now I have the problem that the VMs are not connected to internet, The current setup is the following:
- Host-uplink has fix IP
- VMWare Network Adapter VMnet 1 has a fix IP of my additional IPs
- Workstation and VM is configured for Hostonly using the VMNet 1
- VM has fix IP of my additional IPs and Gateway the IP of VMNet1
+ I can ping the gateway from the VM, and can ping VM from Host
- I cannot ping anything else from the VM
anyone knows what could be the problem? I just find manuals for Linux and tried of course to adapt the idea but did not get it. As I understand I just should have to bridge my uplink-connection to VMNet1, or is that the wrong way?

final solution was
- additional IP added to Uplink-connection of Host
- IP-routing enabled on Host
- VMnet0 bridged to Uplink-Network card
- VM-settings: Network-adapter uses VMnet0
- VM-LAN: fixed IP, as gateway the additional IP of the Uplink-connection, as DNS the same as of the host
- VMnet1 configured as Host-only but probably unused
