Hi !

I have installed the VMWare Infrastructure Client in my Vista Ultimate Host Computer. I tried to log on but keeps failing with error message "Could not establish initial connection with server <server name>. Details: A connection failed occured. Does this mean I cannot make my Vista Ultimate as a host for VMServer 2.0 Beta? Any suggestions or workaround please? Thanks

(File menu have only New item and doesn't have any Open item).

It has now be almost 72 hours with none of my VM's crashing, as well as recovering almost 300Megs of RAM, since disabling the VMWare Web Access service

how can I disable web access services?

I installed beta2 on a ubuntu 7.10 server. can connect to it via VIC using standard port 443.
Still webaccess processes are eating up my resources and are not used:

In my init.d dir there are these service which all point to vmware:

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 30046 2008-01-20 00:30 /etc/init.d/vmware
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2008-01-20 00:30 /etc/init.d/vmware-autostart -> /etc/init.d/vmware
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2008-01-20 00:30 /etc/init.d/vmware-core -> /etc/init.d/vmware
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2008-01-20 00:30 /etc/init.d/vmware-mgmt -> /etc/init.d/vmware

Do I have to edit config files?

Thanks in advance,

• bad WEB interface

• using Java to run management service (which require a huge waste of resources)

I love old web interface - it is fast, useful, have a small memory footprint, and do exactly what it should do. If new WEB interface used the same small footprint (or at least did not use Java) and if it works well (and if InfrastructureClient was compatible, what is not 100% true - it is partially compatible only) I'd not complain. Unfortunately, it is not true for a single item on the list.

On the other hand, When i use my windows Vista box (Added the URL to the trusted sites), somtimes i get an anoying issue. The Console connection is slow, so i cannot go into the Virtual bios or initiate a PXE boot as i used to be able to do with a real console.

I also have an issue when i move back and forth from the console. It will freeze and i have to hit F5 to get it back.

Vmware should keep the web interface as it makes management a breeze but use a better engine in the background to make it work. Take example on google's interfaces and it will be amazing.
