Hello guys,

I'm trying to connect a device on Windows XP virtual machine through RS232 to usb cable. The COM2 ports are set in the device settings on the Windows XP Virtual Machine and on my Windows 10 PC too. When i start the virtual machine it shows error:

 

 

And the virtual device serial0 starts disconnected. When i try to connect it it show this error:

Install VMware tools is grayed out on XP VM

The Windows XP SP3 virtual machine is essentially useless because I can't get access to my LAN.  And (apparently), I cant get access to my LAN because it is not possible to Install VMware Tools, because that option is grayed out under Player/Manage.

 

This is in VMware Workstation 15 Player, if that makes any difference.

 

I sure would appreciate some help making this work.

 

Thanks,

Host DHCP renewal causes guest network hiccup

January 3, 2017, 8:15 am

Hi,

 

I'm using Workstation Player 12.5.2 build-4638234 (latest?) on an Ubuntu 16.04 (4.4.0-57-generic), with an Ubuntu 16.04 (same) guest. The wifi network I'm connecting to has a small (5 mins) DHCP lease time. (This setting is out of my control.) As a result, the host renews the DHCP config quite often (2-5 mins), and every time it does, the guest experiences a small network disconnect. This causes, for instance, a web browser running on the guest to often report pages as unavailable. This is very annoying, and it's something that doesn't happen with a browser running on the host. I'm trying to understand if there's a way to avoid such "hiccups". Specifically, why does the guest network adapter have to go down&up for every such event?? Thanks!

 

My detailed network settings are below:

 

- The host uses a wifi connection, managed by NetworkManager, with DHCP.

 

- The VM has 2 virtual network adapters, one NAT and one host-only. Both are set to use fixed IPs. The host-only adapter has no issues. Here is the config for the NAT adapter:

 

# /etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf

allow unknown-clients;
default-lease-time 1800;                # default is 30 minutes
max-lease-time 7200;                    # default is 2 hours
subnet 192.168.71.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        range 192.168.71.128 192.168.71.254;
        option broadcast-address 192.168.71.255;
        option domain-name-servers 192.168.71.2;
        option domain-name localdomain;
        default-lease-time 1800;                # default is 30 minutes
        max-lease-time 7200;                    # default is 2 hours
        option netbios-name-servers 192.168.71.2;
        option routers 192.168.71.2;
}
host vmnet8 {
        hardware ethernet 00:50:56:C0:00:08;
        fixed-address 192.168.71.1;
        option domain-name-servers 0.0.0.0;
        option domain-name "";
        option routers 0.0.0.0;
}

 

- In the guest, both adapters are set to use static IPs through NetworkManager:

 

# /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/NAT\ Network

...

[ipv4]
address1=192.168.71.10/24,192.168.71.2
dns=192.168.71.2;
dns-search=
method=manual
...


- Here is what I see in syslog during DHCP renewal, apart from other NM-related messages:

Hello

Last week I started to get 2 types of error messages "Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to" and "Error while powering on: Internal error". All of my VMs are not starting and I also can't start a new one

I tried the solution from https://vinfrastructure.it/2019/09/vmware-workstation-issue-cannot-find-a-valid-peer-process-to-connect-to/  but it is not working for me.

 

Does anybody else get the same errors?

 

My VMware player version is:  15.0.4 build-12990004

Host OS: Windows 10, 64-bit  (Build 17134) 10.0.17134

 

Thanks

VPN work around!

I have used VirtualBox and I know I can perform this function there, however i am unhappy with virtual box in general. So i will lay out what I am trying to do.

 

I am a Developer/Consultant, sometimes I have to us VPN's to access the customers systems when I am working on their products. However when I do so sometimes they kill my personal internet connection to anything else in the world. I want to bypass this, by hosting the VPN whether it is via adding a virtual NIC or something else. I want to still able able to work on my actual computer performing other tasks while being able to connect to the VPN and only have their network control effect the Virtual Machine.

 

This the only thing that is stopping me from purchasing this product right now. If there was a trial option I would have tried it myself.

 

Thanks in advance.

Adding 2nd Hard Disk to Guest

September 18, 2019, 9:49 am

Hello All,

 

Host: Windows 10 Pro

Guest: OpenSuSE

 

I am attempting to give my Linux Guest OS access to the SD Card slot on my laptop. I followed the instructions found at the link below, which shows how to add the SD Card slot as a 2nd Hard Disk. But, when I do this, the Guest does NOT boot. I just get a black screen as soon as I hit Play to start the Guest, and I never see the VMWare Bios screen or anything like that. Almost appears as if it's trying to boot to the second Hard Disk, which is currently an empty SD Card.

 

https://www.htpcguides.com/how-to-use-sd-card-reader-in-vmplayer-and-vmworkstation/

 

As soon as I shutdown the Guest, and remove the 2nd HDD the Guest boots up just fine. So I'm not sure what the issue is? I've tried adding it as IDE, SATA and SCSi devices, but the result is the same for all, Guest doesn't boot with 2nd HDD added to VM Settings.

 

One last thing I'm noticing, after I remove the 2nd HDD and boot up the Guest. If I look at Removable Devices, there is a device available called "Realtek USB3.0-CRW". If I select that device and click "Connect" to connect it to the Guest, I notice that the SDCard disappears from the Windows 10 Host's Disk Management. Almost as if it's disconnecting the SD Card from the Host and adding it to the Guest. But, running fdisk in the Guest doesn't show the SD Card.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks in Advance,

Matt

My PC is connected to the network by an Ethernet cable.

 

I tried getting an internet connection within VMware (just for web browsing) but after trying multiple things

nothing seems to work. NAT would the simplest to set-up for my purpose, I also tried Bridged mode.

Is there anything I can do?  Is it the way I restored the machine (created an Acronis bootable media then used the .TIB file to restore the OS)?

I have a Vmware player 12 with windows xp and vmware tools installed on a windows 10 pc and when im trying to send files from my computer to the vm it freezes.

When that happens I can't close it  and I have to force close it with task manager. When I try to open it again it won't let me start the machine, so I have to restart the computer every time it happens.

I tried updating vmware, reinstalling vmwaretools, reinstalling vmware player and update everything again, but nothing worked. I tried installing Vmware player 15 and it does work but i have a license for player 12 only. What could it be ?
