I have two network adapters on the same computer. I want one network adapter to work only with one program (VMWARE) and the other to work for everything else.

Is this possible? If require, I can do some coding, but I have no idea were to start.

  • Because your question is not clear. You can read the documentation on the VM application to learn how to do this.

You will need to go to the install directory of the VMWARE Workstation folder, usually it is in: C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\ run the exe file: vmnetcfg.exe

then disable automatic bridging in vmnetcfg.exe and then assign vmnet0 to physical nic#2. then on the host disable all protocols but the vmware-bridge protocol for physical nic #2

  • Maybe you should have included that in the question?

  • if you are using vmplayer, you need to edit the .vmx file using notepad or wordpad, check for the ethernet0.connectionType and ethernet1.connectionType, it should be either: "bridged" or "NAT" , try changing ethernet0 and ethernet1 fields to "custom", as ethernet0.connectionType=custom & ethernet1.connectionType="custom"
