hi,
i have vmware player (v 2.5.2) running linux(knoppix) as guest on my host( windows xp) and i have two problems:
1.i have a lexmark 1200 printer that the vmware recognise but i cant print with it from the guest even though it is marked as connected.
2.i cant connect to the internet from the guest (not when the network adapter is set to NAT nor to bridged)
-- I have checked that vmnet1 and vmnet8 on windows are enables and working properly
-- no vmware related execs are firewalled.
-- I know that NAT is working on another computer with the same virtual machine definitions.
this is the output of the ifconfig on linux(the guest)
>> knoppix@2[knoppix]$ ifconfig
