After that, I did a ipconfig /renew and the guest was able to connect to the bridged WLAN. What does that mean to me? Should the different guests not have different MAC-Adresses? Any new problems that could come up now? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

After patching and a vmware-config.pl I could start the guest, remove the mac-address of the host and restart the guest to find out that it works with your patch. Are you going to report to VMware? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I am a paying customer to VMware. You found the bug, so I think it is easier to report for you.
