configure vmware workstation so that virtual machines get IP from wifi access point bridging a workstation with wifi access point

I am using Vmware workstation 15 on a laptop which is connected to Wifi network.

I am having Debian and Ubuntu instances running as virtual machines.

The host OS (Windows 10) is having following IP

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : xyz.cyd.com

Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : de80::706b:4222:6799:f404%23

IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.1.1.31

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.224.0

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.1.0.1

Now my vmware network settings are as in box below

Now on my virual machines the IP I am getting are in the range

Debian Virtual machine shows

1: lo: mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000

link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo

valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

2: ens33: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000

link/ether 00:0c:29:6c:78:50 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

inet 192.168.20.132/24 brd 192.168.20.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute ens33

valid_lft 1304sec preferred_lft 1304sec

inet6 fe80::20c:29ff:fe6c:7850/64 scope link noprefixroute

valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

and Ubuntu Virtual machine shows

1: lo: mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000

link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo

valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

2: ens33: mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000

link/ether 00:0c:29:a9:92:d6 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

inet 192.168.20.130/24 brd 192.168.20.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute ens33

valid_lft 1368sec preferred_lft 1368sec

inet6 fe80::ac1e:acaf:d2fb:b59/64 scope link noprefixroute

valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

The situation is like this

|——Debian Guest OS (virtual machine) IP 192.168.20.132/24

|——Ubuntu Guest OS (virtual machine)192.168.20.130/24

Other machines which are connected on network

are having IP ranges in 10.1.0.1 to 10.1.0.255 I want to be able to do an SSH from Debian Guest OS or Ubuntu Guest

OS to machines in my network. So what should be my network settings at vmware workstation to be able to do so.

Where as I want the guest OS is to get IP address in range of host OS ,i.e. the Virtual machines get the IP from Wifi router of network.

There are multiple virtual machines I am having how do I achieve in all these virtual machines. Because I need to ssh into

other machine and if IP are not in same ranges I can not do an SSH from virtual machines to other machines on network.

I want IP of virtual machines to be in ranges 10.1.1.X which is also the IP address of host OS windows 10.

With the current network configuration (NAT), your VMs should be able to reach other systems on the network, but not vice versa.

If that’s all you need, I’d let the settings as they are.

Anyway, to answer your question. To have your VMs in the physical network range, you need to configure them for «Bridged» («vmnet0» by default) networking.

Please click the «Change settings» button to run the Virtual Network Editor in elevated mode. This should allow you to see «vmnet0».

If you have multiple network adapters in your host system, you may also want to add a second «Bridged» network in order to distinguish between e.g. wired, and wireless networking. To make this work, change «Bridged to» on «vmnet0» to one of the physical network adapters, and create the second Bridged network using the other adapter. The select the desired vmnet in the VMs’ configuration.

I tried doing so what you mentioned.

I had a vmnet0 adapater in vmware settings I made it to bridged

see in image below vmnet0 is type bridged external connection is D-Link DWA 131 Wireless N

after rebooting etc the guest OS did not show IP that should have come from wifi router in range of 10.1.0.1

However when I open virtual network editor

Edit—>Virtual Network Editor there it does not show me my new bridge vmnet0

but it is showing when I click on change settings then I can see vmnet0.

The Guest OS is not getting IP from wifi router instead it is getting IP from VMware DHCP which I do not want it to.

Did you also change the VM’s settings, to use the bridge network (i.e. from NAT to Bridged)?

Yes I tried while doing all this I came across some knowledge gap which I have described in this thread how to know which vmnet is connected to virtual machines this thread is very much connected to question I posted here because when I originally posted question I was in an environment where I had wifi access via captive portal login mechanism and now I am in an environment where I have access to internet via plain WEP2 handshakes.

So I tried configuring in both environments the same thing some how I failed to do so there seems to be some knowledge gap in my understanding.

That environment will be available to me after 1 month.

You can’t bridge to a WiFi client connection to an access point. If you could, we wouldn’t need WDS.

The problem is that the WiFi specification prohibits an access point from putting traffic on the air unless that traffic is bound for one of its clients. Either the VM can be the client or the machine can be the client. But they can’t both be because there’s only one client connection to the access point.

This rule is a relic of times long ago when WiFi was very slow (11 Mbps or less) and just bridging traffic to the WiFi would have lead to horrible congestion. Unfortunately, WiFi is just enough like Ethernet to make people think it’s the same, but it’s not. You can’t bridge to a client connection.

You could use a wired connection. You could use some form of NAT (it doesn’t have to be IP NAT, MAC NAT will usually mostly work). You could use routing instead of bridging.

What is your view on this answer.

Connecting to a Linux Guest on VMware via Wireless Network: A Guide

Typically, the Ethernet adapter serves as the ‘Bridged to’ adapter. This type of networking enables your GOS to receive an IP address from your physical network, which is facilitated by a DHCP server. In most home networks, the DHCP server is usually the wired or wireless router.

Host-Only Network not working on VMware Workstation

With VMware Workstation’s host-only networking, a network is established between the host computer (specifically, your Windows 8 machine) and all virtual machines that have also been set to use the host-only network type.

For further details on host-only networking, you may refer to this provided link.

To offer internet connectivity, you have two options: NAT Networking or Bridged Networking.

NAT networking assigns a NAT’ed IP to your Guest Operating System (GOS) from your Host, while Bridged networking allows the GOS to acquire an IP from the physical network, typically through a DHCP server like your wired or wireless router. I hope this information is useful to you.

In case your device is connected to a WiFi network, navigate to the Network Adapter settings and select Bridged Automatic. From there, proceed to configure the adapter and remember to uncheck the virtualBox Host-only Ethernet Adapter.

While encountering issues with a host-only network on VMWare Workstation 12 (excluding player), I stumbled upon this solution.

While the existing response is satisfactory, I would like to elaborate on my own discomfort.

My Redhat virtual machine is configured with a static IP address.

IP - 192.168.1.101 Netmask - 255.255.255.0 Gateway - 192.168.1.1 DNS - 192.168.1.1

Located on 192.168.1.25 , my host operates wirelessly akin to OP. It appears that the problem lies in the selection of the network to connect with in Workstation. To resolve this, you must disable DHCP on the host-only network and adjust the range to match your desired configuration.

When accessing the virtual network editor, specifically the VMnet1 option, there is a range displayed at the bottom that can be modified. In my case, I changed it to 192.168.1.0 and set the mask to 255.255.255.0 . Additionally, it is important to disable the «Use local DHCP Service» option.

After completing the task, communication with the image became possible. If you are encountering any problems, attempting to do so without firewalls/iptables may be helpful.

Use Wireless access point in VMWare

For future reference, I have managed to make this function properly.

I made a purchase of the TP Link WN823N USB Wifi adapter.

To connect your USB Wifi adapter to your Linux VM, follow these steps. Firstly, keep your host Wifi turned on and connect the USB adapter to download the drivers. Once the installation is complete, power on the VM and open VMWare. Right-click on the VM and select Removable Devices. You will find the USB adapter listed. Now, select Connect to disconnect it from the host. This will easily connect the adapter to your Linux VM.

The WiFi adapter will be linked to the VM and detached from the host, allowing the host to still utilize the internal WiFi.

I encountered a similar problem and attempted to resolve it by disabling all networks except for the one connected to the Internet in the Network Adapter settings, specifically VMnet1 and VMnet8 (in my situation).
