Workstation 12 Player - Trouble Enabling Bridged Virtual Connection

While trying to setup Kali-Linux-2016-vm-amd64 via Workstation 12 Player on a Windows 7 host PC, I was unable to get a workable connection using the Bridged(Automatic) setting for the Network Adapter. VM Settings7.png

 

 

My understanding is that the Player should set up 3 virtual adapters during VMware install as follows:

 

VMnet0 - Bridged

VMnet1 - Host-Only

VMnet8 - NAT

Source - http://pubs.vmware.com/player-12-windows/index.jsp?topic=  %2Fcom.vmware.player.win.using.doc%2FGUID-8FDE7881-C31F-487F-BEF3-  B2107A21D0CE.html

 

I am able to get a workable connection to internet via NAT (Ping 8.8.8.8), but not with Bridged option.

 

I tried reinstalling Workstation Player, and the Kali-Linux VM from scratch with the same results.

 

I've tried 'adding' another Network Adapter via Virtual Machine Settings with same no connection results

 

I checked Network Connections on the Win 7 Host, and I notice 2 VMware Network adapters labeled VMnet1 and VMnet8, but nothing relating to an expected VMnet0. So I assume VMware tried and maybe failed to create the appropriate adapter for some reason.

Looking for suggestions or resources to fix this no-connection Bridged issue.

 

Thanks for taking time to read my post.

Disconnected - A certificate error occurred while connecting to the update server. Check your Internet settings or contact your system administrator.

Hi,

 

 

I have VMWare Workstation Player 12.5.6 installed.  When I go into the Software Updates window and click on Check for Updates, I get the error

"Disconnected - A certificate error occurred while connecting to the update server. Check your Internet settings or contact your system administrator."

 

 

Now, I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is, but don't know how to solve it.

 

 

The Proxy we have here is a MITM proxy which the company use to scan all HTTP and HTTPS traffic.  To do this, the company's root cert is installed on the PC, and the Proxy will generate a new SSL cert for (almost) all https connections.  The browser is happy to accept this as it's correctly signed with a valid root cert.

 

 

However, the cert is not the original cert, as issued by the web site.  And it appears that the Software Update is either

- validating the cert is the correct cert, not just a valid cert

or

- not using the installed root certs to validate the cert, thus getting a cert that is not correctly signed.

 

 

For most things, the installation of the new root cert fixes it (installation into Windows or Linux, for example).

 

 

So how can I get around this in VMWare Workstation Player?  Can I install a root cert somewhere in the app path?  Or is there an option somewhere I haven't found?

 

 

For now, I have to manually check and download a new version.  It would be nice to have the Player tell me what it's available.

 

 

This also prevents the download and installation of VMWare Tools.

 

 

 

 

Thanks.

Windows 10 guest keyboard input is extremely flaky.

Windows 7 x64 SP1 host.

 

VMWare Workstation 12 Player 12.5.6 build-5528349

 

Windows 10 x64 Professional Version 1703 Build 15063.296

 

When trying to type in either the Edge browser address bar or the Search Windows' textbox accessed from the Start button, input is extremely laggy and continually misses keystrokes and loses focus.

 

This is a fresh install of the OS into a VM, i.e. it is not an existing physical machine migrated into a VM.

 

VMWare Tools is installed. The setting for 'Enhanced Keyboard' in the VM settings makes no difference.

 

Keyboard input everywhere else seems to be OK.

4k Screen on host (Windows 10) has small resolution on guest (lubuntu) for VMWare Workstation Player 12

I have gone through several similar posts over the past year or two. There's no concrete solution to this.

 

- Tried messing with the configuration file. The svga width, height, and vram size settings.

- Tried adding more video memory by enabling "Accelerate 3D graphics".

- Disabled the DPI settings.

- Tried some more things which didn't work.

 

 

Can anyone please point out a good fix for this problem? Everything is so tiny on the screen.

Trying to use Workstation Player 12 at a multiuser-environment

Hi there.

 

I'm trying to use the VMware-Workstation-Player 12 at a Ubuntu-16.04 LTS Client with a multiuser-environment.

Actually I've installed the VMware-Player by using the admin-account and I've configured a WIN-10 as guest.

Now I tried to use this VM with a normal user-profile. The installation of the guest is located at /opt/vmware. It accords necessary rights to every user (read / write).

Now, at the first startup by using a normal user-account, VMware asks for a valid email for registration. At the next step I select the existing installation of the WIN-10-guest at /opt/vmware.

After choosing the *.vmx - file, the virtual machine appears at the library. If I try to start it, nothing happens. There is no problem report, not a flashing of the desktop, nothing.

 

I hope, I could explain the problem. Is there a possibility to fix it?

 

Thanks,

Stefan

DOS/Windows guest operating systems and USB floppy

If I were to use a USB floppy drive, is there any additional procedure required to configure MS/PC-DOS or Windows 3.1/95/98/ME to recognize it as Drive A?

 

Or is it as simple as configuring the guest OS to recognize a USB device (most likely, set to version 1.1) and then plugging in the floppy, and the guest OS will automatically recognize it as a floppy, with the possible exception that it must be set as drive A?

All VMs Start with Black Screen

Recently moved all my VMs from Host Win7-64bit to Win8-64bit.

Fresh install of Player v 5.0.2 build-1031769

Computer is Acer Aspire M Intel i5 @ 1.8Ghz

Graphics is Intel HD 4000

 

When any of the various VMs are started from the Powered Off state, the player window will open and a big black screen will appear where the guest display should be shown. The guest OS does indeed boot, right up to the login screen although with no display visible. If I try to click on the close button in the upper right corner, I get a dialog box that says "The Virtual Machine is Busy". My only option is to end the vmplayer.exe task using task manager. Once I do that, the VM shows state as Powered On in the Library. If I Play it the 2nd time, the VM will resume operating correctly with the proper display at the immediate point where I expected it to be when I ended the vmplayer.exe task earlier.

Presence or absence of Tools in Guest does not affect the problem.

 

All 3 of my VMs have the exact same behavior. Guest operating Systems are: WinXP-SP3-32bit, Win7-64bit built from the VMware Converter, and Server 2008 from the MS eval ISO.

 

Any ideas? Once the play/end task/play sequence is performed the VM works correctly. Until it is shutdown or hibernated. A VM restart does not exhibit this symptom. The problem is reproducible with all VMs every time.

 

Provided vmx for the XP VM and a few logs.

Thanks in advance. I'm so close to having this work it's even more frustrating than if it didn't work at all.

Windows 10 guest (on Linux host) *always* loses network connection after dual booting with Windows 10

My main system environment is running Linux (with a dual boot of Windows 10) and I have a Windows 10 guest VM.

 

I've found that after I've used the on-metal install of Windows 10 and then get back into Linux after I've finished, when I open the Windows 10 VM, that virtual machine *always* loses it's network connection and I can NEVER get it working again without removing all network devices from within Windows Device Manager, removing all device profiles from the registry [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles], removing the network device from my VM, and then reinstalling VMWare Player and adding a new network device to the VM (at which point Windows happily detects that a new network connection has been found.


Network connection on the host system always works (both Linux and Windows)

 

This is clearly a huge pain and I'm wondering a) why this happens, and b) how can I fix the issue when it does come up.

 

Edit: I'm using VMWare Player 12.5.7

VMware Player makes my USB KVM switch machines randomly

I have a Trendnet TK-409 4 port USB KVM attached to several computers, one of which has VMWare Player 1.0.3 on Windows XP. When I am running the player, and only when I am running the player, the kvm, at seemingly random times, suddenly switches to the next machine. It is as if I hit scroll-lock twice to go to the next machine, but I didn't.

 

It seems to happen more frequently when the cursor is near the edge of the VWware player window. If fact, I had a frustrating experience where I tried to close the player because the kvm was switching machines too often, but when the cursor neared the close box, the kvm switched, thwarting my efforts.

 

Any suggestions?

Good afternoon all,

 

I have a situation where I need to clone a hard drive with it's OS in to a virtual machine.

I've seen "VMware vCentre Converter" mentioned as the cloning software, however I am cloning from a usb dock, not the computers hard drive itself.

 

Is there another program to use for this application?

 

 

Thank you

VMWare Workstation 12 Player 12.5.7 build-5813279 is filled with errors

My guest (Xubuntu 14.04 LTS) has been working just fine for a year or so. I made the mistake of updating VMWare Workstation player. Results, I am losing time and money. Some details:

 

1) When booting, a complaint of "power/on script did not run successfully"

2) When shutting the guest, a complaint of corresponding VMWare Tools -script failing

3) clipboard between guest and host does not work

4) the automatic screen scaling on host when re-sizing guest VMWarePlayer UI window also no longer works.

 

Effectively, this build has screwed up my work environment quite totally. What was the added value of this update, I wonder?

VMPlayer 12 timeout

I am using VMPlayer 12.5.7 build-5813279 on Windows 10. i use it to run Windows server 2012R2.

 

After a period of inactivity (not sure how long), the VM disappears.

 

Is there a setting to prohibit this? Or at least extend the time out period?

 

ALSO (and this may be off topic for this forum), What is the specific difference in the Virtual Machine Settings between using a Bridged network connected to the host machine's NIC and VMnet1 (or 8)?

 

I would like the VMs to be able to reach the default gateway and the Internet, besides each other.

VMWare Tools poweron script did not run successfully in this virtual machine

Hi !

 

 

I'm running a VM into VMWare Player. At startup, after windows loging, I get error "The VMWare Tools poweron script did not run successfully in this virtual machine. If you have configured a custom poweron script in this virtual machine, please inspect it for errors; otherwise submit a support request."

 

 

I have created the virtual machine using VMWare Workstation 6 and that VM works perfectly when run with VMWare Workstation. I have not created an poweron script.

 

 

The VM is running Windows XP while the host is Vista Ultimate.

 

 

Any advice Appreciated.

In a Workstation 12.5.7 Player running on Win 10, I cannot find a sequence of instructions for installing VMTools on a guest mint 18 64-bit.

 

I've found several sets of instructions for Linux, Ubuntu, etc. All fail---commands they describe do not work, folders & filenames they describe do not exist.

 

Please, where do I find of VMTools installation instructions that actually work for 12.5.7 and Mint 18 64-bit?
