Hi there,

First create a second host-only network. On Windows and Linux host systems, the first host-only network (VMnet1) is set up for you when you install Workstation Pro.

1. Set up the connection to the first host-only network.
   Select the virtual machine and select VM > Settings.
   On the Hardware tab, select Network Adapter.
2. Select Host-only to connect to the default host-only network (VMnet1).
   Set up the connection to the second host-only network.
   Select the virtual machine and select VM > Settings.
   On the Hardware tab, select Network Adapter.
   Select Custom and select the custom host-only network from the drop-down menu.
3. To run the router software on a virtual machine, set up a third virtual machine that has connections to the two host-only networks.
   Select the virtual machine and select VM > Settings.
   On the Hardware tab, select Network Adapter.
   Select Host-only.
   The adapter is connected to the default host-only interface (VMnet1).
   Select the second network adapter, select Custom, and select the custom host-only network from the drop-down menu.
