Running vmware server on laptop issues

Hey Forum.

I'm using my laptop also as Vmware server for beeing able to have a windows machine.
But I have both and wired connection and wireless.

I can get a bridged connection on the wired LAN. But would also wan on the wireless network.
But I cannot get it to work.
I got iwl3945 up and running with great problems. But cannot get it to run.
I've set the wmnet0 bridged to eth0
wnet1 --> Host-only
vmnet3 bridged to wlan0
vmnet8 NAT

But how I do I cannot get the IP from the wireless, no matter what! So how can I fix this ?

Running Kernel 2.6.24.2TP on a IBM X60s.
Is there anything special I need to do to get it rigth - or can someone just explain it to me.

Thanks.

Re: Running vmware server on laptop issues

might be off topic but for problems with vmware I moved to virtualbox (from repo) and I forgot about problems
but running vmware I used host only networking - this seems to be easier than bridged

I can't get bridged to work for me with wireless. I just use NAT.
