Hi,

I noticed the same issue on a Windows 2003 host, I then wrote a test setup which contantly transfers data between several VMs using many tcp/udp endpoints with multiple concurrent Connections (500+.

Result: VMs in Server 2.0 B1 loose connectivity as described by you after less than 24 Hours. Interesting all VMs loose the connectivity even those why have not been involved in the experiment. So I guess it is Probably an issue witht he network driver or sevice the Server uses. The later might be true as the whole server (hosts) gets into trouble (i.e. no more RDB or SMB connections possible but server still running and servicing HTTP Requests for instance) and needs to be rebooted to resume proper operation.

The same Setup performs flawlessly using the same test - setup using 1.0.4.

Hi I'm running the same setup (Ubuntu 7.10 64bit) with VMWare Server 2.0b1 and have experienced the same issues. I have seen some articles stating that disabling IPv6 on the host system may help resolve this. I've disabled it now, and will see if the same problem occurs.

Extract from post above:

only this one worked on Ubuntu 7.10 aka Gutsy add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist :

blacklist ipv6
