I had Win2k Pro installed on the vmware2 port just a few days ago, everything seemed to work find including networking. However, I unistalled the whole thing as it is a big ugly beast - both vmware and win2k. By the way, does anyone know of a reasonable way to get at the contents of *.exe self-extracting archives. This problem was what led me to fiddle with vmware in the first place. Nathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
