I assume you are looking for a VPN kind of connection between your Windows 7 VM in VMware and another Windows 7 host. I want to understand your requirement properly before I make a proposal. It would be great if you can shed some more light on your requirement so that I can come with a optimum solution for you.
I have multiple certifications in Red Hat (RHCE, RHCVA, Clustering and Storage Management, Server Hardening) and an AWS Certified SysOps Administrator- Associate. I am currently working as a infrastructure consultant and is looking after five customers who have Linux and AWS deployments and provide support for Windows servers as well. I have over 7 years of experience managing Linux, Windows and AWS environments.
Therefore I am very confident that I will be able to deliver your requirement successfully. Hope to work with you.
Cheers
