assign ip to vmware player

Question

I have a dedicated windows server 2008

I'm installed vmware player 5 on it and ubuntu 10.04 in vwmare now i buyed a new ip

ip is :

IP: 78.157.60.141

private: 192.168.150.50

I want to set this ip to vwmare

my question is how I must do that ?

i don't have any acsess to defualt gateway in adress 192.168.150.1

hosting tell to me i most set the ip of vmware in range of this private ip

when i assign the ip with this command

start /wait vnetlib.exe -- stop nat
start /wait vnetlib.exe -- stop dhcp
start /wait vnetlib.exe -- set vnet vmnet8 mask 255.255.255.0 
start /wait vnetlib.exe -- set vnet vmnet8 addr 192.168.150.0 
start /wait vnetlib.exe -- update dhcp vmnet8
start /wait vnetlib.exe -- update nat vmnet8
start /wait vnetlib.exe -- update adapter vmnet8 
start /wait vnetlib.exe -- start dhcp
start /wait vnetlib.exe -- start nat
start /wait vnetlib.exe -- stop dhcp

And then I set the network of vmware player in net mode

now ubuntu auth1 cannot connect and ubuntu is in offline mode

how I can solve this ?

Answer 1

Go to VMware player setting -> In Network Adapter change from NAT to Bridged. Then you can set your IP. Now your IP appears to outside network. Hope that will solve your issue
