Change VMware Fusion NAT Settings

If you want to change your VMware Fusion NAT or Host-Only network settings, you can't to it via the GUI.

Modify the file:

/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/locations

And update the NAT address in all of the lines you see the old one.

Run this:

/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmware-config-net.pl

The above command will re-generate the files in:

Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vnnet8 (dhcpd.conf and nat.conf)

Then restart the networking:

Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/boot.sh --restart

I Googled this to no avail and had to ask VMware support...

Thank you for this information. I've been trying to do exactly this for quite some time now.

This has changed in Fusion 3. The file to edit is called 'networking' now. See details in the VMware KB:
