VMWare Gateway on a different network
I'm new into networking. My home network is normally 192.168.2.0/24 and .1 is my gateway. So I'm trying to build my small lab in vmware. I want my vm ubuntu machine to have a 10.10.10.6 address.
It is using Bridged (Automatic) network adapter, and network adapter is configured to use my wifi adapter (I'm on a laptop). This is my netplan configuration:
network: version: 2 renderer: networkd ethernets: ens33: dhcp4: no addresses: [10.10.10.6/24] nameservers: addresses: [8.8.8.8,8.8.8.4] routes: - to: 0.0.0.0/0 via: 192.168.2.1 on-link: trueI cannot ping the gateway or any device on my network... When I change the ip address to something in 192.168.2.0 network, I can ping the gateway or devices on my network and get out.
What am I missing? I'm on ubuntu 18.04.
Thanks in advance!

A bridged network adapter means that it is going to try to use the existing network which is 192.168.2.0/24. 10.10.10.6 is outside the range that your network uses so it doesn't work as it supports 192.168.2.2-254
You would have to use a NAT network to give the system its own private network to work from if you want to stick with 10.10.10.1/24, though you may have restrictions communicating between the 192.168.2.0/24 and the 10.10.10.1/24 network.
