Hi all.

My VmWare installation causes sometimes a funny problem, when networking is ok from the
emulation machine on vmware, linux result offline. If I uninstall vmware that goes ok for linux and netorking back up again.
If I reinstall vmware network from linux becomes unreachable. Vmware last version, as well as Linux. Anyone of you ever occured the same ?

Thanx in advance

Max

How is your vmware networking set up?
Bridged, NAT etc?

Nat. How should I expect to find the vmnet
virtual network adapter configured ?

IT looks like in the configuration script
it mess up the addresses, altough the virtual machine network is ok (for connection but no telnets)

the ip of my virtual machine is different from the ip of the master host. is it correct ? should I see it as the ip of the vmnet ?

thanks in advance

Max.

If it is NATed, the ip on the vmware
install will be completely different to the
host system. Try selecting bridged
networking and either allow the vmware
install to pick up an IP from a DHCP server
(if one is running on your network) or set
the IP in manually (which will need to be
different to the host system but on the
same subnet.

Thank you for the moment, the problem looks like fixed. Altough now it works, sometimes the host machine went offline after a while like a couple of days. do you mind if I write you directly next time - if even - it will fails ?
