NAT port forwarding problem in WKS 8.0.1, Ubuntu 11.10 x64.

[lsching17]

The host system is Ubuntu 11.10 x64.

I try to forward port 65404 - 65413 to my PC, but the virtual ethernet service will failed to start

Starting VMware services:
   Virtual machine monitor                                             done
   Virtual machine communication interface                             done
   VM communication interface socket family                            done
   Blocking file system                                                done
   Virtual ethernet                                                   failed
   VMware Authentication Daemon                                        done

but if i change the port to 50004 - 50013, the service can start successfully

is there any log file i need to attached for troubleshooting?

thank you very much, but my kernel version is 3.0.0, this patch is for kernel 3.2.0

[Pavlinux]

For linux-3.0.9 compiled normally, without any patches.

Difference between 3.0.0 and 3.0.9 does not change the API.

F%ck you distro creators

i finally found that one of the port is being listened by other program. The problem is solved without patching the module, thanks for your help
