Could you please try adding (usb.generic.skipsetconfig = "true") to the VM's vmx config file Would this also address the problem I'm having with the Optia AF (there's been a thread on that for a month, but response other than asking which version of VMware), or that of another user with a USB HID device? On the latter, I also came across: usb.generic.allowHID = "TRUE"

Any thoughts? Its been a month, and I still have a pricey brick that I'd like to use, so I'm willing to provide the device to VMware if it would help. I realize that this is a new USB item, but it is highly rated, and I doubt that it will remain rare for long.

Any thoughts? I've a pretty pricey brick here. I'm even willing to ship it to VMware if it necessary to help get the issue resolved, since I cannot use it until VMware works with it.

Where can i edit the hostname & IP? In the Guest OS. If you are using DHCP, so long as you have a different MAC address, the DHCP server will automatically issue a different IP address.

What version of VMware Workstation? WS 6.0.0 build 45731 Further information ... Once I even attempt to attach the device to the virtual USB, not only does Workstation not attach it, it doesn't properly give it back to the host, so it becomes unavailable until I physically detach and reattach to the host. When the device is properly attached to the host, Device Manager reports a USB Video Device[/i] as an Imaging Device[/i], and a USB Audio Device[/i] under Sound, video and game controllers[/i].

I just tried a new Creative Optia AF webcam, and it doesn't appear to work. Any suggestions? Host: WinXPSP2 When attached, USB recognized it as a USB Composite Device, and installed both USB video and audio devices. Guest: WinXPSP2 See below for the logs. The checkmark next to the USB device does not stay selected, and nothing appears mounted in the VM. The log starts from when I first started verifying my new webcam and old webcam on the host (both work fine on the host), and continue with my attempts to get the new webcam into the guest (the old one works fine).
