I am having an virtual machine (LINUX) debian distribution running in windows 7 host. So it have in default virtual host only adapter of TCP/IP type. ( this can be modified according to the VM network settings : e.g., Bridged Network, NAT, etc).
As per the instrument control using ethernet, the pining have to be done initially before adding or configuring the instrument (in this case Virtual Machine running on the host system connected through virtual ethernet) in NI MAX.
