I am not precisely clear on what you wish to do, but if you set the Virtual Machine properties (edit the VM) and set the network interface to NAT, then the VM will get its DHCP from VMware and it will be separate from the host network connection. <br />

Windows 7 VMWare Workstation Network Interface Priority<br />
Fire up laptop, attach to wireless network, all OK. Now I want to plug into the ethernet jack on the laptop but have available as a private network (its going to talk to a piece of lab gear that has its own address range and DHCP server.<br />
How do we assign that network priority so that workstaion takes that network private and it does not supersede the wireless connection on the laptop?

Windows 7 and VMWare Workstation interface priority

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
