Hi,

If you have a wireless card on the host machine you need to ensure

Dave,I have a similar setup on my laptop with two VMs and all it took to get it to work anywhere was to change the VM's NIC settings to NAT.

I've set the second nic to nat mode as well. So, i've got two nics, both in nat mode, one the original one is connected to the wire, the new one is going to go wireless. My goal is when i take the host box off the wired network the vm's running on it will still be able to connect wirelessly. Thanks. Dave.

is also in NAT mode since bridging mode is not allowed for wireless network cards on the host.

Were you using two network cards on the guest (one going through the wired and one going through the wireless connection)?

Hi, Is anyone using vmware workstation 7.0? I've got a vm, a gentoo vm specifically, but i suppose any kind would work, that has a single virtual nic on it. This one is in nat mode. It connects to my wired network. There are times when i want this vm to connect wirelessly, i've added another nic and here i'm stuck. If anyone has a vm, linux prefered, windows if not, connecting to a wireless network only i'd be very interested. Thanks. Dave.
