Accessing a VMware Player (Workstation 12) machine from network

To be able to access a VMware Workstation 12 Player machine (to receive a ping request at least) follow these steps:

• Open virtual machine settings from player -> manage -> virtual machine settings and click network adapter tab

• Select Bridged mode.
• Make sure that you setup DHCP or a static ip for this virtual machine. To setup a static ip for a linux server follow this link: http://www.ozanmut.com/2017/03/setting-static-ip-for-red-hat.html
• Now you should be able to access virtual machine from network!
