I looked at How to assign a static IP address to my VMWare machine? and didn't find an answer:
I am running VMware Fusion on Mavericks with an Ubuntu Saucy guest, the guest connected to the network via NAT. I want to shell into the guest and browse a Django site I am developing. But every ?few hours?, the guest IP changes, disrupting my ssh connections.
How do I ask the host's VMware Fusion (?or the guest?) to assign and stay with a static IP for the guest? t
