Hi all,
I'm trying to install bridged networking on my laptop. I've run the config script and the VMs start fine but bridged networking is down. The error is:
"The network bridge on device /dev/vmnet0 is temporarily down because the bridged Ethernet interface is down. The virtual machine may not be able to communicate with the host or with other machines on your network."
The bridge tools seems to be in place.
It looks like there is no ethernet device up.
are you using an PCMCIA or USB ethernet-card ? if so you should try to configure host-only-networking, and afterware you can configure your linux to forward (and perhaps masquerade) the packets from VMware to the internet or so on (if you want to ..)
if you only want to access the (linux-)harddisk of your notebook host-only-networking and samba(an adapted version is included to vmware too) will help you
bridged networking gives you primarily access to the network where your notbook is connected to. (and only when it is connected to, in most cases)
if you are using the build-in network-device of your notebook, you should get the device configured (with IP) and up before starting vmware
