I am trying to get a VMware virtual machine going on my Kubuntu box. It is a Windows XP VM and it almost goes perfectly. The main sticking point I am having is that there is one application that I need that refuses to behave.
It is a document handling thing called SilentOne and it craps out when it tries to connect to the server. It seems to be able to make an initial connection to the server and get connection details but when an attempt to actually connect for real it refuses to get as far as the login challenge eventually timing out saying that the server is not responding. This particular VM is a copy of one that works when run on a Windows host and all of the other networking works on the Kubuntu host. As I said all of the other apps are going fine including browsers and email. So what I am suspecting is a problem at the VMware bridging thingy at the Linux end. This app seems to connect on port 8080 which is also the web proxy and it talks back on what appears to be a random port above 1024 <the question> Does anybody know where the config stuff for the eth bridging that VMware uses is kept? What about how it works? </the question> Google appears to be reasonably unforthcoming. There was stuff about ipv6 incompatibilty so I turned that off and there was a ethtool command that turned a few things off at the card level which I also did. None of these things worked. This could be a real show stopper for my running Linux as my base OS so I need to solve it.
