Seems that VMware uses the ethernet port in Win 10 as a "bridge" to allow Win 10 internet service. The only network cable attached to this iMac is the crossover cable that's connected only to my Epilog laser. I've modified the settings to read my laser IP & subnet, ping the laser and got a response. Next tried to use the internet in Win 10, didn't work. So looks like I need to setup another ethernet port or switch the "WiFi" to use another port to free the ethernet port for the crossover cable...
I'm looking for anyone that has info. on setting up VMware Fusion 8.1 + Windows 10 using a crossover cable. I have everything else setup, just not sure how or which way to setup a second ethernet or which option to run the WiFi thru in the network adapter setting. Anyone run into this issue ? Any info. you'd like to add, please feel free. I'm sure others with the same problem will find this super useful if we can get the Laser & computer setup properly.
