Warner, the symptoms you describe can happen if you're trying to connect to a port that nothing lis listening on. Since you say that you're trying to get VMware started it sounds to me like the problem is that you may be missing a step in starting up VMware. In order to have something

ya know, I've often thought about running my own hosting business on the side, virtual hosts, on a monthly fee through some of the local colo and ISPs. It's the economic inability to compete with the non local providers which has stopped me. Is this something where a local Co-op model might

I'm generally a proponent of buying local, but I'm not sure how much sense it makes to go with a local web hosting provider. Why is it you're looking for local? The typical reasons include reduced cost/impact for distribution and/or keeping money locally. Buying local web hosting does absolutely

Well, I've actually done the hosting thing in a past life and I have to tell you that it is a thankless job. Wearing a page 24x7x365 is not exactly exciting. Getting up at 2:00 AM to drive into the NOC to correct a problem in order to fulfill your Service Level Agreement and not lose revenue
