What to do to create 2 seperate networks in VMWare?
Hi Experts,
I have 3 VM'S running with Windows 7.
I want 2 of them in a separate network and they must be able to ping each other.
The other 1 is seperate aswell and is on his own, it doesn't need to ping other VM'S.
I looked at some options like creating a extra network adapter or a complete virtual network like a PFSense but i don't know what is recommended in this situation.
I looked at this article https://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ws_net_advanced_2hostonly.html
I really appreciate any help you can provide,
Marcos Santo

Vsphere, i think i figured it out but more suggestions would be better. Also i upgraded the HOST pc to 2 Network cards.

Thanks for the reactions, i have enough information to get started with my VM Network.
Thanks for the update
If this is a live environment then I would suggest using VLAN's to achieve what your looking to do. You would then configure your physical network ( switches ) to restrict what can get to what.
Kind regards,
