vmware in xp with redhat 8.0 guest

dmarkow · 03-08-2003, 02:14 PM

I'm having issues with VMWare getting the redhat 8.0 guest to recognize the virtual network on my xp host. When loading, redhat fails while trying to load eth0. I have the networking enabled for the virtual system, but linux doesn't seem to recognize it.

I have the same problem with RH9, but functioning ok with RH8, had no problem with RH8, have you installed vmware tools ? are you using what kind of network ? I have the adapter bridged with a router giving DHCP managing

In Windows XP

disable firewall. Also try to setup VMware with a power user.

In Windows XP turn off all the effects that it does.

BTW, why are you running VMware in Windows. I can see running VMware in LINUX and trying to run your favorite windows programs. Windows especally Windows XP is very, very, very bloated. Windows only gives 60% of the processor to the user. The rest is for lousy windows.
