I installed the vmware player on windows XP. When I look at the networks i got 2 extra networks installed
VMWARE Network adapter VMNET1 en 8

They both are DHCP lease but when i refresh my addresses they keep getting a range that is not on my network

192.168.92.1 and 192.168.109.1

they say they get it from a dhcp server but that is not possible. How do i change this?

thanks in advance
 
OK, those 2 networks ARE getting an IP address from a DHCP server - your PC is now a virtual DHCP server. It will only lease addresses to virtual networks, however.

VMNET1 is normally a host-only network - any virtual machines on this connection will only be able to talk to your machine - nothing else.

VMNET8 is normally a NAT(network address translation) address system - this allows any virtual machine on this network to talk to anything else - it just uses your machine as the gateway.

IF you don't need to change it, I wouldn't bother.
