Hosting VM on different LAN segment from host machine

$

Hi all,

I'm using VMWare Workstatation 8.0 in a small development environment to host VMs for a small development team. I normally use the Bridge Mode to enable the team to connect to the VMs using the VMs direct IP address.

 

This works fine if the VM's IP address is in the same LAN segment as the host. However, due to internal company constraints, we have very little control over IP and MAC address assignments. I now have to host a VM in different LN segment, as follows, using ficticious IPs to illustrate the point:-

 

Host Machine: 128.0.12.100

Most VMs: 128.0.12.x

Problem VM: 128.0.11.101

 

Is it possible still to enable the particular VM to be configured via Bridge Mode like the others? I know I can alternatively use the NAT mode, and configure port forwarding using a fixed local to forward to 3389 on the VM, but I'm trying to avoid that if I can, so that I can streamline the way of access to all my VMs.

 

Anyone has any ideas how (if at all possible) to do the above?

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
