Running Ubuntu in VMware network troubles

jcafaro10 · 04-09-2009, 07:28 PM

Actually, my internet works quite well. I have my Ubuntu virtual machine set using bridged so that it connects directly to my network. The problem is that it gets the same ip address as my host machine. I don't want this because then it's like I only have one machine, not two. My IP addresses are automatically assigned so how do I get them to be different?

Thanks

you don't want to use bridged mode on vmware then, you want to use NAT. that'll give the VM and the actual host different IPs.
