My NAT has been configured to be DHCP, And Configured my IP Address to 2.2.2.1 for easy remembrance, Take a look at how mine looks like. I have my VMware Workstation on Windows 10 as the host, Then I have upto 15 Virtual Machines, I have different OS including Windows XP, 7, CentOS, LinuxMint, Ubuntu Server and some other Custom OS. I really enjoy working with Virtualization both type 1 and 2, But It came to a time that I need to assign a static IP Address to my virtual machines in any network connection mode, NAT, Bridged or Host-Only.īefore I came across this, I tried setting up Mikrotic Router OS in other to achieve this options, and looking for other alternative ways, But didn't know the option is already available.
