You keep saying VMware rather than naming the product you are using (a bit like saying Microsoft when you could mean Word or an Xbox), you have posted this in the ESXi area for the forums, but the things you say make it sound like you are using the Workstation product.
Please be clear on which VMware product you are using, and what version.
