How to set static private address for node running under VMWare

static-ipubuntu-10.10vmware-player

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 in VMWare Player under Windows 7. Each time I reboot the node, it gets a different private IP address (I can see this with ifconfig).

I would like my VMWare node to keep the same private IP address after each reboot. I am the only one behind my router.

Is this possible? If yes, how should I proceed? Thanks!

Your Ubuntu guest is using DHCP to get its IP, set it to use an appropriate static instead. Oh and VMWare is a company not a product, what product are you using, can you update your question and tags.
