Workstation version?

ipconfig /all from the host?

vmx file contents?

ifconfig -a from the guest?

If troubleshooting a network issue, please include the additional information.

1) Post the output from " ipconfig /all " (Windows) or " ifconfig -a " (Linux)

from both the host and guest OS

2) Post the .vmx file from the virtual machine.

3) Details of how your host is connected to the local network / Internet (Cable Modem, DSL, Router, Switch, Wired, Wireless...etc)

hey.. ok i sorted the problem and i am able to access the connection.

the problem was really silly, i had my host computer and the guest computer ( Ubuntu ) named with the same host name. so once i changed that i could access the network.

THANKS A LOT for all your answers. appreciate it.

there one small problem though.

i have a firewall on my host computer ( Windows XP ) . I am using Outpost. Now when i disable the firewall the connection works. but i when i enable it, the connection doesnt work.

i have allowed connection for the following processes

vmware-vmx.exe

vmserverdwin32.exe

vmware-authd.exe

vmware.exe

also it would help if anyone could tell me what connections should be allowed ( if anything in particular )

This is the network:

VM( ubuntu ) >> VMWARE SERVER >> Windows XP ( with firewall Outpost ) >> ROUTER >> Internet.
