Can you give your configuration? Or at least some of it? It's very difficult to say what is going on without an idea of this.

Your question is not clear on which system do you want to set the static ip.<br />
<br />
You have a host, do the VMs bridge the host connection to get an IP on the physical LAN or does the host have a virtual switch assigning IPs that ..... And that is

I'm sorry for the lack of information. I setup my network using NAT and I was using the wrong gateway. I thought I should use my routers gateway but it turns out I needed to use the gateway that the NAT router sets up. Thank you

This is somewhat related. If I setup a NAT LAN how can I use static IP's on one of the machines? I want one machine to always have the same address on the network but when I tried to do this I lost internet connection.

Setting up a NAT Network with Static IP's

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

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.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
