If I want to transfer data between the physical machine (windows operating system) and virtual machine (Linux real time operating system). Could anyone please explain about configuring the data between the machines.

Is it possible to configure the physical machine, and also how?

I am using Lab car VMware player on virtual machine.

  • What kind of data? if your mean is transferring Files between both of them, you can use Shared Folder feature.

  • I am transferring the data like temperature value, speed and so on. I also created a Ethernet driver (TCP/IP) for the communication

The virtual machines are on a virtual network, which exists only in the vmware. On the vmware host (vmware player) you can set up

1) the parameters of the internal network 2) how do you want to connect it to the outer world (with its real network)

In your case, 1) is important.

On the internal vmnet, your host and your guests have their ip-s just so, as if it were a normal net.

If you have correctly set up, you can handle your guests anyway as you wish (IMHO the simplest if you share some folder on the guest, and copy files with the normal windows smb networking).

  • Thank you very much for the reply. I am using ip address to communicate with the physical machine. To perform the communication the address (IP or subnet) of the physical machine should be the same. How to configure or setup the physical or virtual machine of the same subnet ??

  • Simplest is if you set the network of your virtual machine in bridged mode. It will be thus a neightbor machine on your local physical network, and you will be able to use of your local network settings (thus the local dhcp will configure everything to you).

  • @user2984410 If your vms are in bridged mode, they should seem as if they were independent machines on your local network.

  • I selected a host on my vm : I am using windows operating system as a host and linux as VM on the same laptop. If I ping from the host or the target : I am getting error as : Destination Host unreachable.
