configure Linux DHCP in Vmware fusion LAB
I am using Vmware fusion in the LAB (on MAC computer connected to internet).
By default the VMs I have created so far got automatic IP address in the subnet 172.16.27.0
I have Ubuntu server VM, that I want to install DHCP on and configure it to hand out IP addresses in the scope of 192.168.1.0
I wonder how can I carry out this task.
Any help will be cry much appreciated.
Thank you

Sandy,
how do you do this in Vmware Fusion:
1. Disable the DHCP servie from VMware network settings.

My MAC has IP 192.168.1.2, when I installed Vmware Fusion, then Virtual machines they got the IP in the range of 172.16.27.0
I am not sure why this happened, why Vmware fusion did not put the VMs in 192.168.1.0 Network

The link does not apply to my case…I am using vmware fusion…and Windows 7

AS you can see through snapshots, the IP s are handed out either through Vmware fusion DHCP 172.16.27.0 or if I disable it , the IPs will be handed out through DHCP of the wireless card 192.168.1.0

Unfortunately it did not work

disabling dhcp will not be visible under the vm properties... Its a option which comes under Vmware Fusion Preference settings.

I do not want vmware fusion to hand out IP address. this is a Lab I want to test Ubuntu DHCP server, handing out IPs to Linux and windows computers
