Host: Windows 8x64
Guest: Windows 7x64
Hello,
if I choose the Virtual Network Editor in VMware Workstation 9 I can see that VMnet0 is of the Type Bridged. The host virtual adapter name is: VMware Network Adapter VMnet0.
If I look to the host I can see only:
- VMware Network Adapter VMnet1 and
- VMware Network Adapter VMnet 8.
Why can I not see the VMware Network Adapter VMnet0 in the host?
In the guest operating system I have an Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT-Network Connection which uses the virtual DHCP server. Internet works fine if I choose NAT for the Network Adapter in the Virtual Machine Settings. If I choose Bridged (Automatic Bridging Settings: selected the host network adapter AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick) for the Network Adapter I get the following error message:
Network Error
An IP-adress conflict was detected.
Another computer in the Network has the same IP-adress than this computer.
The IP adress of the host and the guest are the same. The connection trials take place via the Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT-Network Connection. The DHCP server of the host does not assign a unique IP adress tho the guest if I choose Bridged.
The following I do not understand:
- Why can I not see the VMware Network Adapter VMnet0 in the host?
- Why do the connection trials take place via the Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT-Network Connection if I choose Bridged for the Network Adpater? I thought that if I choose Bridged the guest connects directly to the physical network via VMnet0 in the Host.
Something is wrong. Please help me.
