VMware Server NAT address

I only have one virtual machine now, but when my computer starts up without VMware Server running, there are two ip addresses for it. I have searched the settings in VMware Server. I am not able to change the settings for the second virtual machine because it does not exist anymore.

Code:

Yes, after I removed the second virtual machine, it shouldn't have an ip address anymore.

yes it should. those to vmnet virtual addresses are the vmware service subsystem, not relevant to the actual machines you are running. you can run 100 vm's and you'll still only see those vm nics extenrally.

Okay, thanks.
