I did my initial testing with PF Zen 1.8.7 on a Window 2003 Server running Vmware Player 3.0.1. Getting the NICs to work was the biggest trouble that I had.
1. I had to update the NIC driver in the Windows server to a version that could break out VLAN tags. (Not many desktop class NIC and/or NIC drivers will do this.) 2. Create multiple VLANs in the Windows Server NIC driver. 3. Use VMNETCFG.exe in the Vmware Player program folder to map the Windows NIC VLANs to Virtual NICs that are then used for the VM machine for PF Zen. 4. Then setup the NIC interfaces in PF Zen.
