Using, VMware 5.00.build 13124 FreeBSD 5.3.RELEASE #0 (as Guest) Win XP Pro 5.1.2600 SP2 (as Host) On, Intel Pent II, 264 MHz with 192Mb Symptom, ifconfig reports lnc0 device as Virtual Network Settings VMnet0(Bridged) Bridged to Linksys Wireless-G PCI VMnet1(Host Only) A private network shared with host VMnet8(NAT) Used to share the host's IP address VMnet0 NO Subnet, NO DHCP VMnet1 Subnet 192.168.32.0, YES DHCP VMnet8 Subnet 192.168.52.0, YES DHCP Automatic Bridge 'NO' Host Virtual Adapters VMnet1 Virtual Net Enabled VMnet8 Virtual Net Enabled VMware tools is loaded, and does appear to start as BSD boots up, however, I am unable to perform any cut/paste functions from Guest to Host. The VMware docs make no mention of altering any settings on the host, hence, I've done no changes within the Win XP Host. (I can see VMnet8 and VMnet1 on the Host(XP) side with ipconfig /all) I searched through the archives and did not see any resolutions. There were a few messages which implied, 'use NAT and it just works'. I have selected NAT as network type. (I've actually tried bridging and 'host only', still nothing). As a side note, and possibly related. I receive this message on the BSD console[IN BOLD] every 5 minutes or so: calcru: runtime went backwards from 24173436 usec to 24173430 usec for pid 444 (vmware-guestid) This is my first post to this forum, though I usually like to figure things out for myself, I've been really struggling with this issue for quite some time. It would be so great to pull data from the BSD envi (shell scripting, perl scripting) as I use it mainly for development. Oh! I should mention that I am not in any way a BSD expert. I prefer it leaps and bounds over Linux, but my real UNIX experience is with AIX. Although I have a considerable amount of time in the NeXTStep world (which I believe to be build on a derivative of BSD's mach kernel). At any rate, if the email gods are not angry with me this message will make it to the forum, and, hopefully, someone who has already conquered this issue can shed some light. By the way, if I've somehow directed this to an incorrect forum, parden me a 1,000 times. Thanks in advance to all! cheers, Harold __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
