vmware server was originally configured with bridged networking, and I
didn't configure NAT or host-only. For the guest machine neptune that
is being incorrectly connected to, the console reports the correct DNS
name, and correct IP address for the nic., and the only network adapter
listed under hardware is of type bridged (being the only option
available). This all seems sane, and I don't see any host settings
related to networking. And this is latest v2.02 version.
Perhaps of relevance, there is an XP guest also running on this host, to
which vnc connections can be made as expected.

Vmware has 3 ways of setting up the network for vms, which are you using?

Hi,
How have you set up the virtual nics on the VMWare server? sounds
like you might want to look there unless IPcop is messing with it.
cheers

Hi, I have a puzzling situation with connecting to a remote
desktop on a local network. 3 (k)ubuntu boxes - mercury (lucid
- a desktop machine), jupiter (8.04.4 LTS) and neptune (a virtual
machine under VMWare Server 2 running on jupiter).
Name resolution is via an IPCop box static lease and hosts
entries. Boxes can be pinged by name, I can ssh to them and
confirm it's hostname, and that mac address of the ethernet card
and IP address match with what IPCop shows.
Desktop sharing is turned on on both jupiter and neptune.
Occasionally I need to view jupiter's desktop, from mercury all
attempts to establish a vnc connection via either KRDC or Remote
Desktop Viewer, by name or by IP address, give me neptune's desktop.
My guess remains as it being some vmware weirdness, but I'm out
of specific ideas and my googling hasn't found anything useful
beyond ssh, hostnames etc as per the above, can anyone suggest
steps to resolve this?
Cheers,
Roger
