Support tells me that some routers act weird and for some reason refuse to assign IPs to some computers on the network and this is documented with several models out there. The above has been the case since I changed my router and so I am now OK. My final comment and the resolution of my problem as explained to me by the VMware support (very good people indeed) NAT networks use virtual IP addresses assigned by the virtual machine’s DHCP not by the router and hence the virtual machine is not given an IP in the physical local network which explains why NAT networks do not “see” network printers and other computers on the physical network (router and devices connected to it), it only connects to the internet through the NAT (and router) and connects to the MAC of course.īridged networks, however, obtain an address from the DHCP of the router and are, therefore, part of the physical network and hence can “see” the local network devices and other computers connected to the router and are on the network along with the MAC of course.
