VMWare NAT Setting with DHCP disabled

How to config VMware network connection is an interesting process, so I record it here:

Certainly I need to disable DHCP server service, otherwise it may send IP address out and make others not able to connect to company network.

To disable DHCP service, you can run "services.msc" in Windows and see all the services, and disable DHCP server service as shown below.

Then we need to config the network using VMware.

1, Click VMware Network Editor

2. Click NAT-->NAT Settings, get the gateway IP address. For mine, it's 192.168.136.2

3, Manually config the address of the guest OS.
For example, in Windows 7 VM, set the
IP:192.168.56.5,
Gateway: 192.168.56.2,
DNS: 192.168.56.2

Here I use Redhat 6 for example:
1) Open Network Connection

2). Config the IP, Gateway and don't forget the DNS Server

3) because our company adopts a proxy settings, we need to config the proxy settings. Please notice that:
Network Proxy under preference is for GNOME Desktop

To use browser, for example FireFox you need to config it separately.

Great! We can web surfing now!
