I got an interesting idea to create a hadoop cluster by using 2 laptops connected to a router, but ran into a problem.
I am trying to network connect 2 virtual machines accross the lan using a VMware workstation as the figure above. After trying a lot i have managed to connect the hosts(the windows 10 ie), but i can't figure out how to the connect the virtual machine to each other.
Alright this is how I managed to do. i left 1st system as it is, just replaced it with a ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine and a usb to ethernet adapter was added & in the vmware network adaptor was disabled & usb to ethernet adaptor was enabled.
The 2nd system was completely formated to ubuntu 16.04.
On connectinng to router everything worked Flawlessly with correct ip
