Bluefirestorm, can you please explain how can you be so sure that it is not a bug of vmware?
What is your explanation for the fact that with direct bridging it works while with NAT it doesn't, then?
IMO it might be, because switching between NAT and VMNet2 (direct bridging) is an action that takes place outside the VM, but still happens in the VMware framework (VMware's virtual router).
I am not saying that i am sure it is a VMware bug, i am just considering the possibility for the aforementioned reasons
Back to the topic:
It is known that Windows' Internet Connection Sharing is not perfect but more or less it works.
And in my specific use case it is the only thing that works if i can use direct bridging.
Bridging the 2 network adapters in the VM (selecting the 2 adapters from control panel, right click on the selection and choose "bridge connections" from the menu) does not work even if i use static ip addresses (BTW, if i try to do the same on the host (this is allowed) i end up with an "unexpected error" message so it is useless).
Does anybody know a different method to connect two networks in Windows 10 rather than ICS and network adapters bridging?
Maybe some obscure shell commands can do the job?
Or maybe i need to install some additional software inside my VM?
Cheers
