How do you disable DHCP in VMWare Player?
6,894
I found that you can simply disable the "VMWare DHCP Service" under services on Windows (I'm sure there is a Linux equivalent). However that will disable DHCP for all VMs, not just the one you are interested in.
It would be great if there were a way to configure it per VM.

VMWare Player seems to have a DHCP server built into it that automatically runs on the "Host-Only" networks and provides addresses to the clients.
Is there some way that I can disable this DHCP service and make those networks just act like a dumb switch? I want to handle DHCP requests on the host.
I see the option for "Lan Segments" but can't seem to make those available to the host OS.
