VMware player: To change NAT settings for remote desktop to windows client

This works in Ubuntu 13.10

1. Suspend all virtual machines
2. Edit /etc/vmware/vmnet8/nat/nat.conf
sudo nano /etc/vmware/vmnet8/nat/nat.conf 

For remote desktop in windows,
run ipconfig to check the ip address in address

ipconfig

It should start at 172.16.*.*

Then add the line

3389=172.16.*.*:3389 

under the section
 [incomingtcp]

where *.* is the ip address of your windows box

3. Restart vmware-player
sudo /etc/init.d/vmware restart
