Yes but my PC only has one NIC. Furthermore it makes no mention of using VLAN tags that are already configured on the network.
Is your pc using win8 pro or higher? I know that feature is present in hyper-v if you're not tied to vmware
Then you can just turn hyper-v on as a feature if you want to use that.
Hmmm I was not aware that Hyper-V was an included feature in Win 10. It's been months since I've messed with Hyper-V...perhaps it's time I reacquainted myself. Thanks for the advice.
Figured you would have... Hope the hyperV suggestion does the trick.
Hate to reply to an old thread, but I spent hours looking for a solution for VMWare Workstation 12 on a Windows 10 host.
First of all, switching to the vmxnet3 paravirtualized NIC gave the option for VLAN tagging in the driver's advanced settings. Just change ethernet0.virtualDev to "vmxnet3" in your VM's .vmx file.
Once that was done, I discovered that you must also disable "Priority & VLAN" on the HOSTS LAN adapter that you are bridging... otherwise it drops all of the packets that contain tags.
Once I did that... I was able to assign my VM's to a VLAN and have it all work. Of course the host will not be able to be in a tagged VLAN since you disabled that option.
