I finally managed to get RH9 up and running on my WinXP host, however another problem surfaced: I can't connect to my home network. It says that it can't detect any connection, here's the message: "Determining IP information for eth0...failed; no link present. Check cable?".
I followed pretty much everything in the VMWare help guide, using bridged connection. Any ideas?
I use bridged networking with no problems. In fact, it seems to be the easiest to configure for me. Have you tried host-only or NAT??
The answer to this one is buried in the VMWare site. You have to find all copies of ifcfg-eth0 and add the lines:
check_link_down() {
return 1;
}
That fools the device into thinking the vmWare NIC is giving it a link up signal, which it doesn't.
Hope this helps, it works everytime for me. Good luck.
