HOW TO CONNECT VMWARE HOST MACHINE NETWORK TO VIRTUAL MACHINE

In order to connect a virtual machine to its host network a router is required. That is, if you want network communication with your host machine and your virtual machine you to be connected to a WIFI network or modem which will create a network connection and assign IP addresses to the two machines. If you create this connection and it doesn't work, go to "edit" tab in VMware and select "virtual network editor". In the window that opens select "change settings" (you need administrative privileges to do this), and then click on "restore defaults". When it is done click ok and close the window. then open the virtual machine you want to connect to. On its open window click on "edit virtual machine settings" and navigate to network adapter and set it to "NAT". Once you are done the connection should be made. Ensure that you are connected to a WIFI or modem because it will act as a router.
