Bridged network working on 1 adapter but not the other - Ubuntu Linux

[Tejc]

Hi,

I got the VMware player running just fine under Ubuntu 7.10, but only if I configure it to use bridged networking on eth0. I also have a wireless network card installed as wlan0 which is actually my default network card. When i configure either only vmnet0 bridged to wlan0 the network in my guest OS doesnt work. If I plug in the cable to eth0 and configure via vmware-config.pl bridged network on eth0 everything works great...

Any help on how to make it work with wlan0 would be more then welcome.

Thanks

I tried your solution and during installation all went fine, but when I start VMware Player I get this error:

Version mismatch with vmmon module: expecting 168.0, got 167.0.

You have an incorrect version of the 'vmmon' kernel module.

Try reinstalling VMware Player.

My Linux box is: Ubuntu 8.04 (2.6.24-18-generic) running VMware Player 2.04 i386.

What can I do? Thanks...

Try the server version, its also free. But it should work with player too. Try using a diffrent any-any update, i found a few, but only this one worked for me... And it works on kernels from 2.6.24-16 to 2.6.24-19 (that's what i've tested).Each time a kernel is updated I need to rerun the vmware-config.pl, so it builds for the new kernel... then everything works again.

I solved following instructions in this post:

Perfectly works on Ubuntu 8.04 with kernel 2.6.24-19 and VMware Player 2.0.4...

I am having a similar issue with bridging my wireless lan card. The situation is a little different though as I am running windows xp within vmware ace player. I can get it bridged fine with the lan card but if I setup a separate bridge for the wireless lan card it simply cannot get an IP address. The host system shows as connected wirelessly with a valid IP. I read on a post someone suggested that the wireless ap may not want to assign multiple IP's to the same wireless client. I am not sure if this is the cause. It would be nice to get some confirmation on this.

Did you have a solution for your problem ?

My problem seems the same.

The VM has an XP Os, and the Wireless network adapter with automatic bridged on vmNet0 cannot connect to the network.

With an other VM using a Linux Red hat Os, a MAC address seems attributed, but not an IP Address.

Sorry to reignite this post. I have some guest OS on a linux rhel4 hosts, my problem is i have configured the guest OS to use bridge networking with different host having different and valid IP addresses. The problem is, only one of the guest OS is active at a time on the network, is it possible to make all this host accessible at a time?

I think there is a IP/MAC address conflict is there. Please make sure that IP/MAC address not conflicting.
