I left off the rest of the steps. You need to modify the .vmx file for your VM in a text editor and add the following as the last line:

ethernet1.connectionType = “custom”
ethernet1.vnet = “vmnet2″

Really, though, go to the knowledge base article and follow its steps.

Found this KB article in the VMware Communities: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1001875

You can add more lines and specify more vmnets, like this:
“$LIBDIR/vmnet-bridge” -d /var/run/vmnet-bridge-vmnet2.pid vmnet2 en1

Good question! I believe you can’t do it..

In VMware Fusion GUI there is no option to select which physical bridged interface is associated with your Virtual Machine..

If you find out, please, let me know!

Cheers

Thanks very much. I guess at this time there is no way to use both interfaces? I have 2 VM’s and I would like one to use en0, and the other to use en1.

For some reason though I couldn’t get that last command to work to restart the services.. until i just copied and paste

Figures , i’m a terminal noob anyway.
