Bom dia pessoal. Sou iniciante na plataforma vmware e estou começando com um servidor simples para compartilhar a internet. Meu cenário é o seguinte:

     Tenho um servidor com windows com duas placas de rede. Instalei o vm player neste servidor com duas placas, minha rede é dividida em alguns ranges de IP`s por exemplo:

10.0.0.0 = rede administrativa

10.0.1.0 = rede júridica

10.0.2.0 = rede comercial

10.0.3.0 = rede wi-fi.

    Seguindo, neste servidor windows a placa ligada a rede está configurada para trabalhar na rede administrativa (10.0.0.0/24). Peguei a segunda placa de rede física do servidor onde está instalado o Windows server e coloquei um ip da rede comercial (10.0.2.0/26) e liguei a placa na rede. Ok, no vmplayer instalei uma máquina linux com duas placas de rede em modo bridge (vmnet0), esta máquina linux faria o papel de firewall entre a rede comercial e a internet, compartilhando o acesso à internet e filtrando algumas coisas. Bom, ai começa o problema, configurei na máquina linux instalada no vmware player duas placas de rede uma com ip (10.0.2.1/26 = eth0 - rede comercial) e (200.207.12.34/29 = eth1 - internet) ambas saindo na mesma placa física do servidor windows. O que está acontecendo é que consegui compartilhar a internet da rede comercial passando pelo gateway (máquina linux) instalada na vmware só que, a placa eth1 da máquina linux está perdendo pacotes, ou seja, de uma estação cliente localizada na rede comercial, usando como gateway a máquina linux instalada na vmware peço para pingar um ip qualquer fora da rede, vejo que o ping é feito durante um tempo e em determinados instantes (coisas de segundos) se perde pacotes depois volta. Já tentei identificar o que pode ser mas não consegui, conto com a colaboração dos Srs. Obrigado desde já.

After trying everything to deal with "MSI failed"

I extract the msi to a dir.

and use windows cmd.exe

• RUNAS /USER:administrator cmd.exe
• vmwareplayer_x86.msi EULAS_AGREED=1 /log installerror.log

and now

i got "failed to install hcmon driver

i had googling several hours and got nothing Orz

Can someone help the poor boy, thank you!!!!

I can't seem to find any documentation about this one way or another.  Is the RDRAND instruction (a.k.a. Intel Secure Key) exposed/accessible to a guest OS using the latest Player on a system with an Ivy Bridge processor?

Thanks!

I wanted to play around with the freshly published kernel 3.13.5 on Ubuntu Saucy and installed it. When I was fired VMware Player, the compilation went wrong. It turned out to be an issue with the vmnet module. I have fixed the issue and created a patch to fix it as I have done a few times before. Find the details here:

Hello,

I installed the vmware player on my windows 7 machine,and installed windows xp in a virtual machine.

It works fine being able to go on the internet but my problem is I want to run a worldgroup server on windows xp.

I can not figure out how to make it let the users logon from the internet, what settings i need so users can logon.

I'm struggling for two hours just to find the @$&#^! Vmware tools for Windows 98.

To admins:

Is it so difficult to include a link and a line on the site somewhere?

With so many issues here posted, you should already know that you have failed to make everything run automated, so in many cases a manual alternative is the only option.

After the installation of Windows 98 there was a message that Vmware tools for that OS were installing but I still have only 16 colors, 640x480 res and a response worse than a slide show, so I guess that no Vmware tools were installed.

I tried some of the ISO images here https://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/index.html but they are not accepted for either the OS or the player.

So, does a Vmware tools option exist for Windows 98 or not?

I am running a Vmware Ubuntu image as a guest from Windows 7 host machine.  Is there a setting where I can connect to the ubuntu instance from my Windows host? For example, I have a sql client on my desktop with which I want to be able to access mysql that is running on ubuntu. Is this possible?

thanks in advance for your help.

Today I bought a licence of VMWarePlayer.

The Player first installed as Version 5.0?, then found the newer Version 6.01.

I received the license key via email.

VMWare Player continues to look at itself as Evaluation Version no matter how often I enter the key.

On that PC I had a Evaluation Version of VMWare Workstation, that had 5 days left for Evaluation.

I deinstalled that Version before installing Player.

Player still Claims that it has 5 days left for Evaluation.

How to make Player Aware of teh valid license ?

Hi,

I have installed the VMWare Player 6.0.1 on Windwos 7 64bit,

I can only use it, when I can install the VMWare tools. But when I want to install them I get the message:

"The Update Server could not be found. Check your Internet settings or contact the administrator"

The same message in "Download All Components Now", "Help - Software Updates" on the host and in "Manage - Install VMWare Tools..." when starting the guest.

The update server is https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/ and I can reach it using any internet browser.

I have searched for this problem in this forum here and found that there are such topics going back to 2009 and still not solved!

Please tell me, if there is a simple fix for it or if I have to use Oracle VirtualBox, where everything works fine?

Thanks

Thomas

When I get this error, my VM freezes and I have to reboot it. I'm only running a small email and webserver appliance with very low traffic. I have enough space on my filesystem but I noticed the size of the tmp file created:

/tmp/vmware-erasmo/564d67e1-5507-7643-a467-729f327a5eea  6.4G  6.1G  256M  97% /tmp/vmware-erasmo/564d67e1-5507-7643-a467-729f327a5eea

is about the size of the RAM assigned to the VM. I tried increasing the memory and, yes the size of the filesystem got bigger, but I still experience the error above and have to reboot. How do I prevent this from happening? I don't want to keep increasing the VM RAM. Since I have space on that filesystem can I just specify the size of the tmp filesystem assigned to the VM? This started happening when I moved the VM from a laptop running Fedora 18, where it ran for many months without a glitch, to a Fedora 19 box with plenty more memory and disk. It's the exact same appliance. I'm running VMWare Player 6.0.1 build-1379776

Hi

This is my first I've tried to install Windows 2008 R2 via VM Player. The installation goes fine and boots up.I installed standard version from the MSDN download Iso en_windows_server_2008_r2_standard_enterprise_datacenter_and_web_with_sp1_debug_checked_build_x64_dvd_619600.iso

However, when I attampt to run Windows Update, the update program always responds with 'Windows is up to date'.

The browser is running IE 8, but when trying to access the internet, it gets a pop up error saying there is a problem would you like to skip.

I have tried switching of the enhanced Internet security, firewallls on the host, but no updates have been identified, downloaded or installed.

I have also tried installing IE10, but this stopped with an issue, because a number of Windows Updates are required. Classic catch 22.

Any help greatly appreciated, since this is my 3rd attempt and all have failed,

Cheers

Graham

Hi folks

I'm experiencing some problems with my VMs. For testing purposes of my application (Modify images with Pixelshaders) I've set up a Vista, a Win7, and Win8 VM. But as soon as i launch my app, VMware Player crashes with an unrecoverable error (svga). See attached image.

Unrecoverable error (svga)

Exception 0xc0000005 (access violation) has occured.

My host system: Windows 7 x64

Videocard. Nvidia Quadro FX580

Driver: latest recommended Nvidia driver (320.92)

I can disable graphic acceleration in VM settings for solving the issue, but this way I loose all my graphic capabilities inside the VM.

On other hardware (ATI graphics) everything works fine, so I suppose it's a Nvidia specific issue.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Regards

Dani

Hello,

I have a vmware virtual machine which running on vmware player , but today I click "delete vmware files from disk" menu item by mistake and this virtual machine has a lot of important things on it. Then I try EasyRecovery software to recover deleted files but there is no s001.vmdk file after recovery. and some of sXXX vmdk files are count 0 bayts.

Is there any way to recover some of my data from sXXX.vmdk files because there is no other backup of datas which stays on that virtual machine.

please help me, show me the light

Hi,

I am trying to get VMPlayer running on Ubuntu 12.04. I installed VMware-Player-5.0.0-812388.x86_64 bundle. But when I start VMWare i get the following alert:

"Before you can run VMWare several modules must be compiled and run into the running kernel"

and after a while an error message:

See log file /tmp/vmware-root/vmware-modconfig-4733.log for details.

Hello,

I am trying to have certain programs use the wireless network card and the rest of the computer use the wired network card.

I have done a decent amount of research and reading and everyone says the virtual machine sees the wireless card as a wired network and to configure it in the host computer. 

Is there any way I can configure the wireless card in the virtual machine and not have to have the host use it.  Would uninstalling it from the host and installing in the virtual computer work?

I do have vmware player installed with windows XP as a virtual machine and windows 7 as the host.  if it would work better, I can install windows 7 as the virtual as well.  I have tried the various network settings in vmware and have not found the desired result.

I have tried ForceBind IP, which worked great for programs like eye-fi and chrome, but Iclould did not seem to like it.

any help or different way to achieve the results would be greatly appreciated.

hye there..

why i can't install VMware-player-3.0.1-227600 on my laptop?

here the image link http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/ab86/ijalij0l/untitled2.jpg

is there any solution for this?

Currently i use:-

XP Professional 32bit  SP3

Ram 2GB

HD 250GB

And my laptop is Acer Aspire 4520

Before this, I never install VMware software on my laptop ...

Hi, I'm running a Windows 7 VM on a Windows 8 SSD drive (only drive I have).

Inside the VM the used space is ~ 70GB only (2 partitions c & d).

The MBR is 121GB.

I need to shrink the VM down to that space. Right now it takes up 93GB.

However when I try to shrink inside the VM with vmware tools I get the message "Failed to shrink... There is not enough space on the file system for the selected operation."

Is there a way to shrink anyway without copying the VM to a large enough external drive?

Thanks

Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me because I'm out of ideas.

My guest OS performance in VMware is very laggy and unresponsive. Opening programs takes a long time,and  the cursor is laggy. Iv'e tried everything I can think of: Changed amount of available RAM from 1-3, changed the number of cores from 1-4, changed the virtual disk into split disks or a singe one and nothing helps.

I also eliminated the swap file on the guest OS altogether and still no change.

I'm running Linux Mint 16 (the guest) on VMware player 6.0.1 under win 8.1 (host).

The computer is a Samsung series 9 Laptop with i7-3517u processor, 8GB ram and 256GB sandisk U100 SSD.

The VMware image is currently set up to use 20GB virtual monolithic disk, 2GB RAM, 2 processor cores, NAT Connection.

Iv'e tried copying the same OS image over to a friends laptop who's running it on a lenovo laptop with i5-2310 processor, 256 samsung 840 SSD and 6GB RAM and it works flawlessly.

One of the things I noticed was that opening programs under the guest OS (even just the linux terminal) utilizes 100% of the CPU for a while according to the Linux performance monitor but, under Windows (the host)it shows very little processor usage.

Anyone knows how I can solve this?

I am running Linux Mint 13 (Cinnamon) in vmware player 5 on a host computer (win7 64). After i log in an error comes up from the vm saying "Error opening sound device 0:" I took a course on linux but don't remember much and i can't seem to find anything on the internet so far. Can some help me please?
