Need your suggestion : VMWare Workstation Network Bridge Never works
Hi, I am new to the Archlinux, and begin to love this distribution, event though I struggling all the time to get my archlinux up to running. It is very painful move from windows to Linux because some of my company software only runs correctly under windows (most of time get error under wine...), so I need to install VMWare-Workstation on my PC.
With the help from Arch Fan's Blog I successfully installed VMWare-WorkSation 7.1 on my arch (64bit version) and everything works fine except the network. Not matter how I struggle search on the google I just can not make the network adapter working under bridge mode. which works perfectly under windows OS.
So I wonder is any one have the same issue and will be great help if you can share your experience.
Thanks A lot !!
BTW: My PC only have one Wireless Network card enabled, so I have disable the eth0 on "/etc/rc.conf"

Have you tried Virtual box instead and what about crossover?

thanks for reply,
Virtualbox not support some USB features which is required by the software and however, I found Virtualbox alway consume more system resource than VMWare-Workstation, so that is the reason I need to stick to the VMWare.

Hey I think this thread might help you. Also I think you might get more help in the networking area than in the newbie area but don't double post.
