ipconfig and vmware question

ladiesman217ladiesman217 Member Posts: 416
I'm curious where does the virtual nic get their addresses. Even if vmware is off I can still see the virtual nics and their connected. Is it possible to configure those in under the "host machine"?

Regarding ipconfig, how can I specify which nic I want to run the command. Lets say I want to issue ipconfig /release with my "lan1" and I don't want the virtual nics to release their ip.

    What VMware are you using?

    With regard to ipconfig you can specify the NIC connection name i.e Local Area Connection 2 when you issue the command

    ipconfig /renew Local Area Connection 2

    or you can use wildcards ipconfig /renew Local* which will renew all starting with Local

    If you Ipconfig /? it will show you all the commands available

    I haven't actually used that software but from other VM experience the ipconfig is completed within the OS installed on the VM instance.

    Someone who has used the software may know otherwise :D
