Downloaded and ran the script etc but couldn't get the install to work, it got about halfway through then returned an error. I stumbled across this thread and thought it look fantastic so i'd give it a go. I added the dns-suffix and wins from our netweork to the vm client, and now everything seems to work as it was before on dapper, except that my mashine is working in nat mode than in bridged mode :)
I also had to manual add the dns from our network as a second dns entry in my vm-clients to reach services on other mashines in our network.Īnyway, i`m glad now that i got it working with your help, even it`s not the same way as it was on dapper drake. \\marla\clarkconnect.lan\sharedĪnd not as my girlfriend just \\marla\shared. If i boot my vm clients, they are working in NAT mode, i`m able to surf the web, able to connect to the host system, but if i want to map a shared i have to type e.g.
she just boots her vm client in bridged mode and has every service available provided from our network. if i now want to map a networkshared to the vm hosted on my ubuntu 7.04 i have to write down the "FQDN" of the host. internet is working fine, but browsing the network is tricky. Now i`m able to connect to the host system via smb, ftp or ssh without having any trouble.īut therefor i have some issue to get connections to other hosts on the network. I switched the vm client which is hosted on my ubuntut 7.04 to NAT networking and it worked. (I have a virtual firewall connected to the bridged and host only network, and my other vms connected to the host only network.) If you only want your vm to access machines other than the host, then use bridged. If you want them to talk to both the host and other machines on the network, and your network has a dhcp server, then you can connect the vms to the nat network. If you want your vms to talk to your host, then they should have a virtual network card connected to the host only network. When you install from the repositories, it sets up three virtual networks: The clients are working in bridged mode and are able to connect to the internet or stuff like that, but is not able to get a connection to the rver. The vmware-server logfile looks ok, no errors or something like that.ĭoes anybody has a similar problem or such strange behavier? I followed this howto and it worked out of the box,īut i`m not able to establish a connection to the host system, either via samba or ssh.
I`m on Feisty and i have some problems to get a connection from the vm-client to the host system. I get connections from the vm-client to the host system and to any other pc in our network (samba, ftp, http, ssh. This howto works fine on my girlfriend`s pc with dapper drake. So, is there anything in there that doesn't sound familiar? as you were doing, start from the console or a short cut. To run the console, a menu item should be under Applications-System Tools (though mine got lost when I upgraded to Feisty). VMware services will be started automatically.
Use synaptic package manager to upgrade the kernels for Feisty. Change to the directory you created and run the installerĥ. Unpack the package to, say, a directory on the desktopĤ. From the vmware site, download the package: VMware-server-1.0.3.
From the vmware site, get a serial number.Ģ. It looks like you only have the vmware services installed, not the graphical console.ġ. I can't figure out what's going on with your system. Why does this keep saying command not found!!!!! vmwareĪlright I'll try the purge thing, thanks for the sudo apt-get -purge vmware-server
