VMware Workstation Bridged causing an IP Address conflict error

When I am using Bridged networking with VMware Workstation, with DHCP enabled to my VM, it is taking the same IP as my host machine, therefore causing the IP conflict error to pop up on my VM.

When I tried assigning a different IP to my VM with the same IP configuration (Gateway, DNS etc), I am not getting internet access (it just says Unidentified network)

Solution,

Many reasons causing this problem to happen, you have to check the following:

1. The network interface to which vmnet0 is bridged. If there are multiple network adapters on the host machine the virtual network might be bridged to the wrong network. To eliminate this problem disable the “VMware bridge protocol” option by going to the connection properties of the network interfaces which should not be used for bridging.
2. IP address for the virtual machine is set incorrectly. There is a possibility of mistyping the IP address if you entered it manually, check if this is correct and also check the subnet mask address.
3. Wrong option selected under network connection. While setting up the virtual machine you might have selected a network connection option other than “Bridged” check for this and change it to bridged if this is so.
4. Finally there might be a firewall running in the virtual machine which is blocking the network data transfer, check for this and create firewall rules appropriately.

In my case option 1 was the right one that solved my problem
