How to give my windows server 2012 a static ip via vmware?

gbdavidx

Is this possible?

I have so far one windows server 2012 in vmware v9 (2012)

I have it running as vnet0 (bridged) - external connection auto - bridging (i am able to connect to the internet)

I am trying to assign it a static ip address, but whenever I try and do this it fails and then I can't connect to the internet

What is the IP address on your :
Vmware Workstaiton host and
Windows 2012 Client VM

are you getting the IP on vmware host via DHCP or static?

You can assign the next available IP address to your Windows 2012 client, don't forget the Subnet Mask with Gateway.
