[TCLUG] VMWare workstation - Networking

Mon Apr 14 16:12:57 CDT 2003

Thanks Erik for your responses..!!

I cannot say that networking issue is solved. When VMnet0 is setup to
be bridged to an automatically chosen adapter, network does not work.
But
when I force it to be bridged to a partical physical network interface,
then it works.

I want VMnet0 to be bridged to an automatically chosen adapter. This
issue is still not resolved.

FTP server is running on the virtual machine. It is wu-ftpd. When I run,
"ftp localhost or 
ftp Virtual_Machine_IPAddress" it works fine.

Thanks 
Pradeep

OK - well it sounds like you have the network issue solved.  Are you 
sure that the ftp service is running on the virtual machine?  Try doing 
a port scan of that ip address to make sure that it's actually listening

for ftp requests.
