forward packets to vmware virtual subnet with out NATing

My Mac's WiFi interface is on 192.168.0.0 and VMware linux VM is on 192.168.56.0(vmnet8 NAT interface). My WiFi router is a RaspberryPi running linux(RPI). I am masquerading the traffic and set the static route to guest network at my router, so I don't want to masquerade the traffic again at my MAC for the guest network .


There is also a Host-Only interface, vmnet1, for the virtual subnet that don't masquerade the traffic but it don't forward the traffic.


So how can I disable NAT on vmnet8 or forward the traffic on vmnet1?

I can ping my router 192.168.0.1 from the VM but unable to ping VM(192.168.56.3) from the router!


I've added static route to 192.168.56.0 via 192.168.0.2(Mac Host) in the router.
