hi all FCers! I use VMware Workstation 4.5.2 on Fedora Core 3 It works fine after I cp -a all the /dev/vm* to /etc/udev/devices to keep the dev entries in /dev during system restarts I created 3 different host-only networks, vmnet1, vmnet3, vmnet4 The clustering solution I am setting up in the two vms require at least 3 'physically' different networks. Thats why I created the host-onlys. In each VM they get vmnet-dhcpd leases for all 3 adapters, but those IPs are exactly the same on both VMs!!! They can ping, ftp, etc the host, but not each other, even when I give them different statics. What am i doing wrong? By the way, this is one kernel message that I saw, it looks suspicious, does it have to do with my problem?
