I have two virtual machine on vmware player both, each have a NIC card. I want to direct connect VM1's NIC to VM2's NIC, not bridge, not NAT, not Host-only, just direct connect like connect through wire.

Is is possible? How can I do this? Thanks!

In network settings you can choose a separate Virtual Machine Network to connect them to. However if you want full control on how this network acts you need Workstation.

But in the end, the closest you'll get is the two vm's in one network without dhcp (but a straight cable connection is nothing different).

  • I have tested the solution, there seem be a virtual switch in the network which the two cables connected. But they aren't direct connected still. I run tcpreplay to send packets on VM1, and VM2 doesn't recive the packets. – superK Feb 14 '14 at 07:40

    I make a mistake. Just use sar and ifstat to count the recived packets which sended by tcpreplay on another vm, they show nothing. I use tcpdump instead, then I got the right answer. – superK Feb 14 '14 at 08:00
