Just upgraded to 6.0.4 Build 93057 Now i notice that the NICs on my VM's (settings - ethernet - connected) are appearing unticked - i have to keep ticking 'Connected' Anyone else getting this ?

Running Workstation 6.0.2 on Vista 6.0.6 I can ony get connect to the Internet from my guests when my my host has a wired LAN connection When the host is using wireless only........... the guests cannot connect to the Internet ??!!! I am using NAT shared IP with host as my NIC setting on the guest Its OK fixed by enabling DHCP on the guest !

I store my vm's on a usb drive and open them from different PC's So I often have to delete the .lck files to open them However today I get this message despite deleting the relevant .lck files Any ideas to get round this problem?

I opened one of my VM's - i had obviously moved the vm it was linked to - and when it asked me to browse - I browsed to the wrong VM Now I'm stuck as its pointing at the wrong one - where can I repoint back at the correct linked vm

Workstation v 6.0 - Host = Vista I've been running W2003 server guests for several weeks and they have seen the USB drive attached to the host quite happily Today ( no changes on the host) none of the guests see the same USB drive If i plug\unplug the drive the guests seem to detect it as the add\remove hardware icon in the taskbar appears - and it lists the USB However in Explorer the USB drive just will not show Any ideas guys ? The host sees the USB drive fine

I've got a new HP nc6400 laptop dual core 2.0Ghz 1Gb RAM 80 Gb HD I can only run one v.6.0 W2003 Server guest os - running 2 kills the laptop If I upgrade to 4gb do u reckonI can get 3 up !! Or will I have to spend some money on a server - its only for my own testing.........

I am creating some W2003 Server Guest OS's on v.6 I notice that if I create them on my laptop - and then move them to store on an external HD for space reasons, then move them back I get messages about creating new UIDs or something Whats the best practice for moving\storing them etc.

I have VM Workstation 6.0 Is it possible to store and VMs on external storage e.g. a USB mass storage device? I tried copying a VM from my PC to the USB storage unit but when I try and open it I get a message saying 'cannot open one of the virtual disks neded by this VM as is larger than the max file size supported by the host file system. ' Its FAT32 if i format to NTFS will that fix the problem ?

I can get my head around VM guest machines and have loaded W2003 server onto VM workstation on my laptop successfully Now someone has sent me the VM image of a thin client device so i can load it into VM to have a look at it Thing is I haven't a clue how to do it !!!! The folder I have consists of a 62 MB VM Virtual Disk file 192 Kb VM Virtual Disk file 1 Kb VM config file 9 Kb Nvram file And 4 text files labelled vmware, 1,2, and 3 - (look like log files of some) Now have any of u clever virtualised people got any ideas how i load that into VM !!!!?
