Which vmware product are you using ?

[Ofer_Rozenberg]

vmware workstation 6

Could you please create a new thread in the vmware workstation forum, with a more precise description of your problem such as:

which guest O/S has the ip auto config issue ?

an output of your ip configuration on both host and guest..

Thanks for your understanding...

you'll get a faster answer by posting in the correct forum

We can move them...no need to close/restart.

If it's the guest that you want to have reconfigured - just set it to use NAT. If it's the host...DHCP is your friend.
