    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to add a second network to my Windows VM. I have a second thunderbolt-ethernet adapter. I want to set this up as a second network to access some private network stuff in my lab (separate from my main work network). OS X sees the second network adapter fine, but I'm not having any luck adding a second virtual NIC in windows. I assume this is relatively straight forward, but I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Figured it out....I had to shutdown the VM first before I could add the adapter. Once shutdown, the option appeared to allow me to add a new network.

    Yes Mark, you got it. Whatever the changes you want to do in Windows virtual machine, you need to shut down your virtual machine and go to Configuration to make changes in the settings. Thanks!
