VMWare network setup (newbie)
Hi, sorry if this is too basic or offtopic a question,
but i didnt see a debian-newbie list or anything.
Im running Etch on an IBM ThinkPad T60. I need to run
a Windows application on it, so i installed VMWare
Server
following some detailed instructions i found on
HowToForge and then installed Windows into the virtual
machine.
Things seemed to "work" fine but i cant seem to get
networking going. Im using a laptop so im on a
wireless
connection most of the time, but there wasnt anything
in the configuration menu about this.
So now my guest Windows machine doesnt show any
networking devices in its control panel. How can i get
this machine to share the hosts' wireless connection?
I wasnt sure where to look in the docs as i dont
really understand networking :-)
There are other things that dont work either--sound
isnt configured and unlike what it says in the VMWare
docs theres no easy option for configurating it. And i
have a dualcore machine but VMWare only let's me use
one processor. But theese arent to important, the app
i need to use from within Windows isnt very
challenging, its more out of curiousity.
Thank you! Im really pleased with Debian so far.
Jen
