I concur... I am running Fedora on VMWare under Windows XP, and that is how it is supposed to work. The Linux instance will only know it has a net connection, it will know nothing of the modem itself. The vmnet drivers should handle the dirty work for you. I currently am configured using a bridged network, and it works with DHCP or a static IP address accordingly. Hover NAT should be easy enough to configure. Ciao baby!

I'm doing the opposite (Linux host, XP guest) and my virtual machine doesn't even have a modem. If this is what you are doing, then the way to connect to the Internet is to use Windows to establish the modem connection and use VMware NAT networking to provide access to the VM. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
