[SOLVED] VMware player, network doesn't work

Hi!

I installed VMware player through AUR and it works well. But when I started my vm (Debian 4.0) it asked if I had copied or moved it. I chose "I copied it" because I copied it from my hdd to external hdd. I started my vm but network didn't work. I configured network using vmware-config.pl file like it recommended (vmnet0 as bridged with my wlan0 and vmnet8 as NAT. I also chose to use host-only networking in my vm's (wmaster0)). How did you guys configured your network succesfully?

I just want it to work like on my windows box. It has it's own IP and I can connect to it's IP directly from firefox. Yeah, I run webserver on that vm.

My ifconfig:

set the network connection to NAT not BRIDGE (in the settings tab). i never got BRIDGE running, but i also haven't tried too hard.

Re: [SOLVED] VMware player, network doesn't work

Oh, I didn't even notice that menu. But that didn't do the trick. My real problem was that I had wrong interface selected at /etc/network/interfaces. I just changed eth0 to eth1 and it started to work. Thanks for the tip!
