Re: Linux host, WinXP guest, host has 2 NICs, how to select which NIC to use?

You'll need to use the Virtual Network Editor although first you may need to create some symlinks.

 

The first symlink may already exist so in a Terminal use the following command. Note: If logged in a root the sudo commad is not necessary where shown.  Hint: Copy and Paste the commands!

 

ls -l /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg

 

If it exists the output should be like the following.

 

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Sep 13 08:17 /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg -> /usr/lib/vmware/bin/appLoader

 

At this point you could just use the following command to bring up the Virtual Network Editor.

 

sudo /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg

 

However if you want easier access create a symlink in: /usr/bin

 

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg /usr/bin/vmware-netcfg

 

If the /usr/bin/vmware-netcfg symlink doesn't exist then use the following command.

 

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/vmware/bin/appLoader /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg

 

Then for easier access create a symlink in: /usr/bin

 

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg /usr/bin/vmware-netcfg

 

To bring up the Virtual Network Editor in a Terminal use the following command.

 

sudo vmware-netcfg

 

In the Virtual Network Editor disable automatic bridging on vmnet0 by selecting the target network adapter in the Bridge to: list box.
