VMWare player and NAT setup

After being a fond user of Oracle Virtualbox and being very happy with it, I found myself recently working with VMWare Player.

Now a big advantage of Virtualbox is it's flexible network configuration. Unfortunately I didn't find any equally powerful or relevant features when using the player. Until I discovered this little feature, which I'll gladly share with you.

Open a dos command window and navigate to the location where you installed VMWare player

For example folder :
c:\program files (x86)\VMWare\VMware Player\

Then execute the following command :
"rundll32.exe vmnetui.dll VMNetUI_ShowStandalone"

What you'll get is a nice graphical interface in which you can basically tune any network setting that you could think of.

Good luck and have fun using some extended features of VMWare Player.
