I want to use VM with NIC connected directly to the network. With this I can ping say cnn.com but I cannot browse to CNN.com. I can ping the router that gives the IP address and Internet connection, but cannot browse to it.
Very strange experience.Spent the whole day struggling on this.
If I use NAT most of it works, however the VM now uses IP from another subnet (DHCP from VMNet8) and that gives me trouble with the devices on the network which the VM is communicating with, they cannot talk back as intended. Their messages are not sent back to the IP address of the VM which is another subnet.
