Change VMware fusion NAT setting

Question

I have a virtual machine that I like to use in NAT mode, but by default, VMWare fusion internal DHCP server issues IP addresses in the 192.168.1.0 space. This means that when I am traveling and using other networks that might use this same space, I can't connect to the VM.

How can I change VMWare's internal DHCP server to issue IPs from a less common IP space?

Answer 1

You can do this really easy in VMWare Workstation, but on Fusion, not so much. Please refer to the following VMWare Knowledge Base article. You'll need to edit a file, and restart your VMWare services.
