Hello,

I am trying to use a computer with two network card. Network cards connected to different network, both network can give IP with DHCP.

On the computer there is Vmware Esxi intalled, with a Red Hat guest 'server'.

The Vmware manager/Navigator get its IP from DHCP via one network card, but I couldn't force the Red Hat to use the other network / other network card to get ip with DHCP from that another network.

What Red Hat does at this moment, it request IP from the same network where the Vmware manager is connected.

How can I tell Red Hat is that leave the other network alone, and use the network what I want? (I presume I need to specify the DHCP server ip somewhere).

Thank you!

I have never run into that exact problem (Used VMWARE only for servers, where DHCP was not appropriate). I do, however, recall allocating the interface to the guest in the network configuration. You might explore those settings and see if you can allocate that interface to the guest, forcing it to use that interface only.

Thank you, it is working! I had spend some more time in Vmware settings, and in vSwith0 properities the second network card have to assigned to vSwith0. Now Red Hat can get the IP with DHCP.

Great!
