Ejecutar Virtual Network Editor como Administrador (Usar RunAS o click derecho y ejecutar sobre vmnetcfg.exe)

Ir al Host Virtual Adapters y eliminar todas las intancias VMNet (normalmente VMNet1 y VMNet8 ).

Click sobre Aplicar.

Añadir un nuevo adaptador y asignarlo a VMnet1.

Aplicar.

Select the Host Virtual Networking tab.

Click the > next to VMnet1 and change the address and subnet to the ICS network (192.168.137.0 / 255.255.255.0)

Click Apply.

Go to the NAT tab and select VMNet1.

Click Edit and change the Gateway to the ICS gateway IP (192.168.137.1)

Click Apply and restart the NAT service. (Counter-intuitive, I know.)

Go to the DHCP tab.

Add VMNet1 and remove all others.

Click Apply.

Select Properties of VMNet1 in DHCP Tab.

Enter a Start and End Address for DHCP Scope (192.168.137.50 to 192.168.137.75 as an example)

Adjust client lease to a few days to avoid potential DHCP client renewal timeouts.

Click OK / Click Apply.

Select Host Only Networking for every VM that needs NAT out to your host network/internet.

20. Enable ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on the Windows 7 Host network card that provides connectivity. Select VMNet1 as the - ork card that needs access
