I had the unloadable modules. I then reran config today and it worked - config.pl created a new setup. I turned the system on this morning so maybe that did it. Can you explain host vs bridge vs other network options? I want to have vmplayer use the same IP address as the system it's running

Hmm, I'll have to think about this. At work I'm running vmplayer on XP and at home I have it on Gentoo. For work, at this point I just want to have the vmplayer session to run Linux mail and news clients (because Windows doesn't have anything worthwhile). This is at work and I have a static

This post came at a good time. I had just installed vmplayer on my XP box at work so I could run Linux and have some real mail and news programs. So I decided to try it on gentoo. Emerged it and it wouldn't configure - kept whining it couldn't stop vmware - of course not it wasn't running.

do you have module unloading compiled into your kernel? if not this is needed because of how the /etc/vmware/init.d/vmware script works also a debug check list first check for your vm modules lsmod this should show you your vmmon / vmnet modules also check your /dev folder for your vm files
