It did not work at first, but the problem was solved by rebooting the guest Linux OS (who knows why this was needed). I then made sure all links were up on both the guest and the host and tried to ping across the VMnet3 and VMnet4. The VMware DHCP server on the host assigned IP address 192.168.4.4 to the device (eth2). The VMware DHCP server on the host assigned IP address 192.168.3.3 to the device (eth1).Ģ. I then added two network adapters on my Linux guest:ġ. The network device created is at 192.168.4.1. The DHCP starting address is 192.168.4.4. VMnet4 is exactly the same, but with subnet IP 192.168.4.0. I'm not sure about the selection of "1" (often used as a gateway address) as the right-most octet, but I don't see a way to change it.Ģ. When the network is created, a device "VMware Virtual Ethernet Adapter for VMnet3" is created with IP address 192.168.3.1. I also checked "Use local DHCP service to distribute IP addresses to VMs" and selected starting address 192.168.3.3.

VMnet3 is a host-only network with "Connect a host virtual adapter to this network" checked in the GUI. I have configured two VMnets in the Network Editor:ġ. There is no firewalling configured on either host or guest OS. I want to create a bridge on the Linux guest between two VMnets so I can push traffic from the host through the bridge.

I have a Windows 7 host running VMware Workstation 11, and a guest running Ubuntu 12.04.
