Diagnosis of that led me to VirtualBox being the culprit.
 
 

Nothing have been changed, ifconfig -a shows the exact same thing as I showed you on the previous posts. No, I didn’t told you that. I told you only that you can’t use an IP address on two hosts. The guest needs its own unique IP address, but from you posting I see it has not even one IP address. I dont want any special configuration. I just want to have regular bridged connection. What makes it “different” in my case is.

That depends on where you use the IP addresses. If they are already used on the host you can’t use one of them in the guest. You are saying: But remember, you can’t use the same IP address on two hosts at the same time. And you have two hosts. Regardless of if you use VMware or something different. As soon as you have created a guest system your virtual machine you have two hosts.

The host where VMware Server runs on and the virtual machine. And with each guest you add you add one host. That is not complicated. It’s the same as if you would add a physical host to your network. And each host needs a unique IP address. Regardless if you use bridged or NAT. It’s that easy. If you don’t want two hosts, why did you start with virtualization. That is the base purpose of virtualization. Adding hosts without the need to buy hardware for the new ones.

Maybe you didn’t realize the I referred to the virtual machine also as a host. Or maybe what you mean is that I cant use the same static IP on the host and on the guest at the same time? When you use a bridged connection, the guest connects transparently to the network. Again, the guest has its own vaild unique IP setup, but it is not connected to the physical network, but to a virtual one VMnet1.

The host is also connected to VMnet1 via its virtual network card VMnet1. This is also a virtual network, like VMnet1 but here the host acts like a proxy for the guest. The guest has its own valid and unique IP address from the VMnet8 IP subnet and uses a virtual IP address as its gateway to the outside world physical netwok. Using NAT makes it possible to hide the guest from the physical network because every packet seems to come form the host.

So, if you want to have your guest using a bridged connection, assign an IP address to it, which NO other host uses. Unfortunately I can’t help you here, as you xxxxx’ed the most important information in your post, the IP addresses. These IP addresses are why this information is requested in this forum. If they need to be secret, you can xxx the first three digits of the address, but at least the three last parts must be shown.

Otherwise we can’t check if they are correct or not.

Solved: No bridge with wifi – VMware Technology Network VMTN.

 
 
My setup:. This after trying all of the above heh.
