To get static IP address

[#1]

HI All, I facing an issue of different IP address everytime when I am restarting VMWare machine. Can some one suggest how to get the same/static IP address. (let me know if I do need to change any .vmx file or any other file entry). Thanks.

Tom is correct, but if using virtual client such as vmware fusion you'll have to do it differently. Grab the MAC address of the VM by selecting the VM->Virtual Machine->Settings->Network Adapter->Advanced Options and copy the MAC Address

vi /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/vmnet8/dhcp.conf

add the line at the bottom of the conf file

host hdp24 {

hardware ethernet 00:0C:29:42:61:D7;

fixed-address 192.168.245.133;

}

HI Tom/Dan, Thanks for your quick reply and followup on this.

But I tried using Tom's option which did not work here. For Dan's suggestion too I tried but seems I can not find the path vi /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/vmnet8/dhcp.conf where I can add the up the line. Not sure if I am looking at the right place. But may you please mention it step by step if I can follow you.

Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Rahul
