Just a thought, but are you using the latest VMWare? I'm pretty sure
you need VMWare 4, which was just released in April, to use newer Linux
kernels: 2.4.18 etc. won't work with VMWare 3 IIRC.

When I plug my Debian laptop in at work and connect to our DHCP network
it all seems to work: I get DNS servers configured, get a network
connection where I can surf, ssh to other systems, etc., and everything
seems fine.
BUT, when I type dnsdomainname, it says I have no domain name
configured.
