[SLE] Why does vmware trigger a dial-up connection?
Hello. I recently installed the vmware that came with SuSE Linux 6.3. For some reason, as soon as the vmware-bootscript starts at bootup-time, a dial-up connection to my ISP is triggered (I use wvdial dial-on-demand). I have run vmware-config.pl a few times to weed out what triggers this. When I removed network-support, no dial-up connection was triggered when I ran the /etc/rc.d/vmware script. When I enabled host-only networking, a dial-up connection was triggered. When running the /etc/rc.d/vmware script, I see that it starts: Starting VMware services: Virtual machine monitor done Virtual bidirectional parallel port done Virtual ethernet done Bridged networking done Host-only networking (background) done I dont need bridged networking, but I am not sure how to disable it. I also see some lines like these in the /var/log/messages file: jan 31 16:51:08 pc VMware[init]: Reply from 194.19.0.141: Destination unreachable jan 31 16:51:08 pc VMware[init]: jan 31 16:51:08 pc VMware[init]: Reply from 194.19.0.141: Destination unreachable I have absolutely no idea where this IP-address 194.19.0.141 comes from, and it does not seem to have any reverse lookup in the DNS. So - does anyone have any suggestions here? -- Regards Eivind Olsen <=> eivind@aminor.no <=> Hobby-BOFH -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
