I am having trouble getting into my virtual machine using remote desktop. I am using a NAT connection that was set up using this guide VMware KB: Connecting to VMware virtual machines using the Windows Remote Desktop utility
Could someone please help me figure out the problem?
Here is the ipconfig /all from the host machine:
