Windows VM with bridged networking and DHCP, here I did not get a valid IP address assigned at first.<\/p>\n

By default VMs in Vmware use NAT, that is Network Address Translation, this gives the VMs fancy access to the internet, but the local network and access to other devices is off limits.<\/p>\n

I wanted to give a Windows VM access to the local network. From VirtualBox I knew the procedure that you switch to a hybrid network, i.e. the VM then uses the LAN connection of the host device and ideally also gets an IP address assigned.<\/p>\n
