 |
|
Hi everybody!
I'm trying to establish a host-only connection between my Gentoo Linux OS and a Windows XP virtual machine installed under Vmware player.
Apparently everything is properly configured...
| Code: |
* Starting VMware services: [ ok ]
* Virtual machine monitor [ ok ]
* Virtual ethernet [ ok ]
* Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 (background) [ ok ]
|
But if I try
I get
| Code: |
vmnet1: error fetching interface information: Device not found
|
I tryed to play with vmware-config.pl and I even re-emerged vmware-player without any result. After half a day spent trying to fix this frustrating problem I hope in your help... 
Thank you in advance and
Happy New Year

| Can you see the actual devices in /dev? (IE, what do you get when you do ls /dev/vmnet*)? |

At last I figured out what was going on...
Vmware-player assigns 192.168.0.1 to /dev/vmnet1, but this is also the address of my eth0 interface!
As I moved eth0 to 192.168.50.1, I started seeing vmnet1 again! |
