Hello List, since a few i´m trying to find out why i have no Network with VMware4.5.2 on my RC1 Host. Probably somebody of you Guys got the same Configuration, and can help me to find out if the Problem is a VMware Module Problem or a Network Configuration Prob. Here is the Configuration which i also use successfully on SuSE 9.1. The Host has two NetworkCards, a Realthek for DSL and a nForce Onboard Chip for Local Network and VMware. Both Cards are configured. The nForce Onboard Card as eth0 with 192.168.2.1 The Realthek as eth1 with 192.168.100.99 Booth Cards are loadet on boot IP Forwarding is on, and set to 192.168.2.1 as default Gateway. I installed VMware as RPM, patched it with the any2any Patch 94, compiled the Modules for Bridged and Host-Only to eth0, and everything worked fine so far ... I can start VMware to install a OS from CD, but i don´t get any Network Connection inside the Virtual Machine, no Internet and no Samba ... So i was searching for the different between the Configuration of SuSE 9.1 and RC1, but everything is exactly the same. As next i compiled the nforce driver from NVIDIA, no effect ... Then i tried to install a Network Installation of Sarge in VMware, no network... So it´s not the Installed virtuell OS which has no network, it must be the Card itself, or the connection between the Card and vmnet0. Here is my question now. Has anybody VMware 4.5.2 on RC1 with Network running, or has anybody any idea where i can look next before i ask on the VMware Board ... As i said, i´m not shure if the Problem is a Network-Configuration Problem, or a VMware Prob. Thanks Michael

I have it running and network is working but not the probided samba server because this one is misconfigured by the setup script. The problem I have seen was that the any-any patches cannot handle the kernel module build system as provided by SUSE because it has quite a broken feature detection system. The solution you often hear on the net is to manually configure your kernel sources. My alternative was to patch the any-any patches and remove the feature detection mechanism (actually I should have replaced them with a clean implementation but I did not have the time yet to do so). Finally I managed to build vmmon and vmnet modules that work with VMware 4.5.2 and SUSE Linux 10.0-RC1 without wasting /usr/src/linux/. If you wanted to test my vmmon and vmnet binaries for 2.6.13-9-default I could mail them. Robert -- Robert Schiele Tel.: +49-621-181-2214 Dipl.-Wirtsch.informatiker mailto:rschiele@uni-mannheim.de
Have you used Bridged and Host Only modes in virtual machines before? Bridged requires that the VM have its own IP address on the network, and Host Only means the VM can only communicate with the host OS via networking. You might want to try reconfiguring VMware for NAT as well - that's what I use for my VM's. It provides a DHCP server for the guest OS's, and VMware automatically creates a new subnet on the host OS that is used for VM's. Michael Schueller wrote:

I tried both, Bridged and Host-Only with NAT or without nothing workes. Normally i use Bridged with static IP for the VM (192.168.2.2), but this time it just doesn´t work ... Greats Michael
Did you run vmware-config.pl? Did you compile the kernel modules for VMware? Michael Schueller wrote:

Yes i did ... I patched the vmware-sources with the any2any patch ´94, and compiled all modules for my needs ... No Error was detected, vmware is running with bridged and host-only (backround). Everthing went fine, i just have no Network Micha
