I've been using Fusion 5 Pro with vmnet8 like this:
Host Address: 192.168.8.101
"router" address: 192.168.8.1
DHCP: starting on 192.168.8.101
This used to work. But I just formatted my Mac and, as lazyness and stupidity walk together, I hadn't make a copy of my config files.
Now, I'm trying to accomplish the same configuration, but I don't remember how. Here's my "networking" file:
VERSION=1,0
answer VNET_7_DHCP yes
answer VNET_7_DHCP_CFG_HASH 7A8FF1ECF74DF377E1A7B2F6C3D5CA5187D202B3
answer VNET_7_HOSTONLY_NETMASK 255.255.255.0
answer VNET_7_HOSTONLY_SUBNET 192.168.7.0
answer VNET_7_VIRTUAL_ADAPTER yes
answer VNET_8_DHCP yes
answer VNET_8_DHCP_CFG_HASH 26B637A068E0CC138474D9E61D5D55861D74644F
answer VNET_8_HOSTONLY_HOSTADDR 192.168.8.101
answer VNET_8_HOSTONLY_NETMASK 255.255.255.0
answer VNET_8_HOSTONLY_SUBNET 192.168.8.0
answer VNET_8_NAT yes
answer VNET_8_VIRTUAL_ADAPTER yes
When I run:
sudo /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli --configure
sudo /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli --stop
sudo /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli --start
I end up with the following file (which is predictable, since I had not stated which "router address" I want to use):
allow unknown-clients;
default-lease-time 1800; # default is 30 minutes
max-lease-time 7200; # default is 2 hours
subnet 192.168.8.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.8.128 192.168.8.254;
option broadcast-address 192.168.8.255;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.8.2;
option domain-name localdomain;
default-lease-time 1800; # default is 30 minutes
max-lease-time 7200; # default is 2 hours
option netbios-name-servers 192.168.8.2;
option routers 192.168.8.2;
}
host vmnet8 {
hardware ethernet 00:50:56:C0:00:08;
fixed-address 192.168.8.1;
option domain-name-servers 0.0.0.0;
option domain-name "";
option routers 0.0.0.0;
}
So, my real question is: how do I change the "networking" file or any other config to end up with my "router" address as 192.168.8.1 and my host fixed address as 192.168.8.101? I made it in the past. I simply cannot remember how...
