Here we are going to install Damn Small Linux and Ubuntu Distros in VMware. Now Lets go ahead making a linux install on vmware. Do not configure VMnet1 and VMnet8.Ĭlick Ok, it may take some time. Now assign similar settings for each VMnet from VMnet2 to VMnet9. In this screenshot I have assigned the entire subnet hosts 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.254 for VMnet2. Click on DHCP Settings and specify the start IP and the End IP address that we want to assign. Double click on VMnet2 and in the VMnet information-Ĭheck the box connect a Host Virtual adapter to this Network and alsoĬheck the box use local DHCP services to distribute IP address to VMs The VMnet0 and VMnet8 are self configured for Bridging and NAT and should not be modified, Rest we have to modify.Ĥ.
