Can't ping my default GW / physical Router in Bridge Mode via LAN

[mamba123]

Hi guys

I have a problem and need your help.

My installation looks like this:

EVE-NG Community current version
Host Windows10 Pro
VMware Workstation Pro 16

Now to my problem.

1st case:
If I use a WLAN card in bridge mode, I can reach all other VMs and also the Internet or my physical router from EVE-NG. I only get messages on the Cisco Node that duplicate IP was detected, although no duplicate IP is used. But it only works if I configure the IP addresses on Cisco Node statically. DHCP does NOT work. No idea why.

2nd case:
If I switch off WLAN and connect my computer to the router via LAN, then DHCP for Cisco Node works perfectly. The problem is, I can't reach my router. So my Cisco Node gets an IP address from my router, but I can't ping the router. I can't reach other VMs either.

Case 3: If I use NAT mode instead of Bridge, everything works fine.

I am already at the end of my tether. Can someone please help me?

It is your wifi adapter and vm ware issue, not all wifi adapters are ok in bridged mode.
It is known issue

Hi Uldis,

Thank you for the answer.

I can understand about WLAN, but why doesn't case2 work as I described it? I ONLY connected my computer to the router via LAN.
