so im new to the whole VM world, and i just curious as to how everyone sets up their VMs to handle the peripheral ports on their host machines. Particularly the ethernet ports. Bridged connection? NAT? Custom? With VMware i went into the virtual network editor and setup a new virtual network that had a bridged connection to my laptops ethernet card. then in the virtual machine settings under the network adapter option i chose Custom and pointed it to the aforementioned specific virtual network that i created. everything worked out in the end but when connecting to a PLC or Panelview Plus today i had to manually go in and add them, whether it was RSLinx or in FTVS and FactorytalkLinx. Is there a better way to setup the connection from the host to the guest VM so that it behaves in a way more like it would without the VW being installed?
