Shall I assume you are running VMWare Workstation 5.5.1 or what? VMWare is the name of the company. Probably a good idea if you name the product. Windows is your guest OS, right? > 1) How do I connect the Windows installation in VMWare to the internet? Depends on your network situation. Probably you will find defining your ethernet connection as being type "NAT" is best and use the default setting under Windows. > 2) How do I connect USB devices to Windows? That becomes a bit tricky at times. I don't do it that much. The issue is that the host OS tends to grab the USB device and then you have to rmmod to release it. That doesn't always work. > 3) How do I read from CD in Windows? Disable automounting of CD's on the host and you will simply be able to connect your CD drive to the guest OS. I've no idea of what you've found about python scripts. Been using VMWare workstation for 4 years and never saw anything of the sort. But, the VMWare forums are the best place to talk about VMWware specific stuff. Ed
