title: vmware host and guest static ip address
body: <p>i am new with networking. I have problem with the internet connection between the host system and guest os.(workstation 8)</p>
  
  <p>I have laptop with win 7, which needs to have the static public IP(already working, internet connection OK). Guest OS is win server 2008 r2 sp1. I need to set static IP with the internet connection.(here is the problem i can't get it.)</p>
  
  <p>i tried to set the NAT to share the host IP address, but the guest ip is always obtained from DHCP(but it must be static for example 192.168.1.22). When i set the same IP on the both machines, it will resolve to the IP conflict.</p>
  
  <p>The problem can by that host ip is : 195.x.x.x(public) and guest ip is 192.x.x.x.</p>
  
  <p>I appreciate any advice.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for your time.</p>
