Unable to get IP Address for VMware

The root cause for it might be there is a VMWare DHCP Server running on the host. Please stop the VMware DHCP server on the host and renew the IP address for VMware
Steps
• Go to hostmachine (my machine is win2k8)
• Run services.msc
• Select the VMware DHCP Server
• Stop DHCP Server
• Disbale DHCP server
• Disconnect the VMware Network adapted from the GUEST
• Connect the VMware Network adapter
• You should get the correct IP for the host
