VMWare Server Bridging Problem
Here’s a weird thing that happened while working with VMWare Server. While trying to get one of my virtual machines bridged to our corporate LAN, I kept getting an error that no dns servers were configured.
The fix was to force the VMnet0 controller choice rather than allow it to bridge to an automatically chosen adapter. By doing that, the virtual machine was able to get an IP on the LAN.
This was for a Windows XP host machine and the configuration is performed by the Virtual Network Editor located on the host at VMWare Server > Manage Virtual Networks.
Thank you! I’ve been pulling my hair out for the last hour and your post here was exactly the solution I needed.
Apparently, my automatically chosen adapter was my Hamachi adapter! Whoops…

To be a good benign being is to be enduring a amiable of openness to the mankind, an gift to group unsure things beyond your own restrain, that can govern you to be shattered in very outermost circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something very weighty about the condition of the principled compulsion: that it is based on a corporation in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it’s based on being more like a plant than like a sparkler, something kind of fragile, but whose mere item beauty is inseparable from that fragility.

Hi, I’m new to this forum. I installed VMWARE server 2 on my PC at work and with windows 7 and windows server 2008 as the OS on VMWARE. I have bridged the connection between my physical network adapter and the virtual network adapter. But I can’t get internet connection via that. I have checked all settings but it still won’t work. Some please help!!!

Good day!
I’ve recently found
an excellent search engine –
Warning: array_merge() a href=’function.array-merge’>function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /var/www/html/links.php on line 16
P.S. Yahoo – everything will be found! Google: nothing was really lost…
See you!
