bridged networking

Hi,

I have installed the vmplayer 3.0.0 on a Vista host.

On my host system there are two network interfaces. Which one is used for a bridged networking? I can't see a configuration option that allows me to set it. I checked my network interfaces and I see only Vmet1 and Vmnet8. Should Vmnet0 be visible?

Regards

Jacek

Welcome to the forums!

Should Vmnet0 be visible?

No, VMnet0 is the physical adapter used for bridging.

VMplayer 3 has a known bug - it does not install vmnetcfg which is required to configure bridged netyworking.

Run the setup again like this:

vmware*.exe /e \vmplayer3

then find network.cab and extract vmnetcfg.exe - add it to the existing installation-directory.

Then you can use it to configure the bridge
