Bridged network on vmware workstation
Hello Debian community!
I am running LMDE distribution on my laptop and recently I have installed vmware workstation.
I created a Kali Linux virtual machine and I am trying to set a bridged network with no success.
See the following screenshot..

Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance!

Re: Bridged network on vmware workstation
I suggest you to read again my description, and I would say that I don't like your way that you answered. It seems to me offensive...
What kind of answer is that?
Firstly:
Secondly:
To conclude, I created this thread because I believe that is an issue of vmware on linux host.
I would like a few more opinions from the community about this topic, and if they agree with you GarryRicketson I will erase this thread.

Firstly:
Which is Linux mint based on Debian. Actually for me DebianI am running LMDE distribution
Secondly:
This is that I am trying to configure, the vmware workstation on debian host system, in order to have a bridged network to any VM (even on kali or any other linu, or even on widows VM). I have tested the same type of connection on Ubuntu and still I didn't connected with bridged network type.I have installed vmware workstation

Gary, I am going to echo what Steve and dasein have told you before: just stop posting if you have no clue about what is in a post. You also come off as almost as rude as dasein is most of the time, and that is when you actually read and respond to what people are posting correctly, otherwise it is usually worse.
Like here: LMDE host machine is causing issues. The Guest doesn't matter in the least. It could be poorly argued that LMDE isn't Debian ( they actually use mostly the Debian repos, with a few config packages of their own to make a cohesive whole ), but you ranting yet again because you don't understand doesn't help this forum at ALL.

The bridge should be set up upon install for the VMWare player / workstation. Then you should be able to set up the virtual network adapter to use the bridged mode in the virtual machines settings.
It would be helpful if you posted any error messages ( and info like the guest sees network but gets no internet data, or the guest see no network at all), ifconfig data ( showing all of the interfaces on the machine ) and explained what you want to do with the VM, even if it is basically "just use it as another test sandbox" so we know if what you want is actually what you are asking for... There are many reason to use VMs and some use cases are trickier than others to configure, all while having similar nomenclature.

Re: Bridged network on vmware workstation
Thank you pendrachken for your reply!
I would like to say that I am a little bit of dummy about VM and generally about networking.
My goal is to get a type of connection to my VM and be reachable from the internet, which means with it's own IP (and MAC address?).
For example I just want to be able to connect via ssh from my host to my guest machine, like they were 2 different physical machines.
Below are some information about my host and guest machines:
Host machine:
Guest machine
Also I just read in the link above
https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... networking
that maybe the problem is because I am connected via wifi to my host machine. I tested with wired connection and it worked!
But why just with wired connection? Is it possible to work with wifi connection to my host machine?
Thank you for your help!

Re: Bridged network on vmware workstation
I cannot open the dropbox link you posted. Can you upload the image to some other image upload facility and post its link again?
I was having similar problem in VMware Workstation when one of the bridged NICs (virtual or physical, don't remember) was non-existent in '/dev'. I had fixed it by changing it to an existing one.

Sure! I just updated my first post with an alternative link.v&n wrote:

Actually I don't understand how you find out the problem of this issue (what is a NIC?). How did you change that? Could you be more specific, or would you like to guide me and give you the appropriate information of my system (some terminal outputs etc) and solve it?v&n wrote:

Your screenshot shows multiple virtual NICs (vmnet0/1/8). Do they all really exist? In my case, the one being used didn't. I had changed it (in the same screen as your screenshot) to an existing one, if I remember correctly. To check their existence :
Code: Select all
ls /dev/vmnet*

Re: Bridged network on vmware workstation
If you just want to bridge your VM to your Wifi Card to give your VM it's own IP address from your local router then all you have to do is select bridged connection from network settings and select your wifi id as the Name (ie wlan0 or wlp1s0 or something similar ish) and ensure cable connected is checked in the advanced section.

Re: Bridged network on vmware workstation
Based on settings of a working bridged connection in one of my vmware VMs, I suggest the following :
- In your VM's network settings, try disabling the "Replicate physical network connection state" option. Or,
- Try "Custom : Specific virtual network" option, and set the custom network to /dev/vmnet0
- If either of above two don't help, then in 'Virtual Network Editor', delete vnnet1 and vmnet8 connections, and make sure 'eth0' (of your host OS) is connected to the network. (Or just set the bridging mode to "Automatic" in Virtual Network Editor)
