Hi, All,

Thank you very much for trying to help me to solve this problem.

My VMware setup seems fine. They are the same between fedora 5 and fedora 6.

It is my impatience prompt me to post the question several time since
I am desperately need some help.

As I posted from another email, I want to install fedora 6 on my old
IBM A21p laptop. So I install it on vmware to get familiar on the
installation process.

I will follow the suggestion to install the kernel-devel package from
the DVD insteat of using YUM.

Thanks


Frank,

After you have installed kernel-devel go to the VMware forum and
search for the "vmxnet compile fix". The patch will let you use the
vmxnet driver instead of pcnet. (Note: You can also boot from your
CD/DVD and perform an upgrade of the existing FC6 client. Selecting
the kernel development and programming language groups for
installation will ensure that you pick up the major components.)

I used pcnet on my FC6 32-bit client for over a month before patching
vmxnet.c and did not encounter any problem getting gmail or yum to
work. If using vmxnet fixes the problem you are encountering with
gmail please let us know.

Frank
