To set up the second host-only network, follow the steps outlined below for your host
operating system.
Setting Up the Second Host-Only Interface on a Windows Host
Follow these steps to set up the second host-only interface on a Windows host.
1. Go to Edit > Virtual Network Settings > Host Virtual Adapters.
2. Click Add new adapter.
3. Choose the virtual network on which you want to use the adapter and click OK.
4. Click Apply.
5. Click OK to close the Virtual Network Editor.
Setting Up the Second Host-Only Interface on a Linux Host
1. As root (su), run the VMware Workstation configuration script.
/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
2. Use the wizard to modify your configuration. After asking about a NAT network,
the script asks:
Do you want to be able to use host-only networking in your
virtual machines?
Answer Yes.
The wizard reports on host-only networks that you have already set up on the
host or, if none is present, configures the first host-only network.
3. The wizard asks:
Do you wish to configure another host-only network?
Answer Yes.
Repeat this step until you have as many host-only networks as you want. Then
answer No.
4. Complete the remaining steps in the wizard. When it is finished, it restarts all
services used by VMware Workstation.
5. Run ifconfig. You should see at least four network interfaces — eth0, lo,
vmnet1 and vmnet2. If the VMnet interfaces do not show up immediately,
wait for a minute, then run the command again. These four interfaces should
have different IP address on separate subnets.
