Static ip on a VMWare Fusion Virtual Machine
Raw
vm_statis_ip.md

Shamelessly copied from: http://www.stereoplex.com/blog/vmware-fusion-guests-with-a-static-ip VMWare Fusion v4

get the MAC address of the vm: Virtual Machine - Settings - Network Adapter - Advanced make a note of it, it will be needed later

open /Library/Preferences/VMWare Fusion/vmnet8/dhcpd.conf: make note of the subnet range -> select a fixed ip outside of this range make note of the "options routers" ip address -> needed later append:

host *your_host_name* {
hardware ethernet *the MAC address you noted down above*;
fixed-address *the ip address you want*;
}

Quit and relaunch VMWare Fusion

On the vm (CentOS 6): system-config-network-tui enter the ip address, mac address and default gateway = "options routers" ip noted above restart networking

what is "your_host_name"? Is that the hostname of the mac? Or the hostname of the windows vm? How do i find the hostname I need?
