VM Workstation multiple VMs on one host

Can I run multiple VMs on the same host when I have NAT: used host ip address enabled?  Wouldn't all the VMs have the same ip address is if this is enabled?  Will this work or will I get ip address conflicts?

It depends on what you're trying to do. If you're workstation and VMs are to be on a network, and you want to get to the Internet from your VMs, you need to use Bridged mode.

Yes you can. NAT on VMware works kind of like the NAT in an Internet router (Linksys, D-Link, etc) and lets all of the hosts share the ip address.

Good Luck

Yes...correct; I guess my post did sound like using NAT would negate getting to the Internet from happening.
