Using VMWare when not connected to LAN
As you might have noticed in VMWare the default network mode is “Bridged”, which means that your VMWare guest OS will behave as a separate computer with its own IP address. It’s all good except one thing – it requires your PC (on which VMWare is running) to be connected to a LAN. In other words, the network adapter of your computer must have an IP address assigned, otherwise you wont get VMWare networking to work.
