I haven't encountered problems connecting to a PLC through VM Ware but I am with this particular machine. I'm running Windows 7 on a Windows 10 machine in order to talk to PLC. I'm only a week into this job and this was the laptop my predecessor used. At any rate, when connected to the PLC Ethernet port, I can't read any of the devices (all red X's). I tried pinging the PLC IP address through VM Ware and kept getting a "Destination host unavailable". However, I can successfully ping the PLC through the host machine. I've made sure the IP address for Windows 7 is compatible but I keep getting the same result.
Are there some other walls I'm potentially running into or settings not turned on? Would I be better off trying to get my hands on an older Win 7 machine if possible?
