I'm using the player. Should I be using something else? The workstation costs money and some website somewhere said that the server would run slower, so I opted for the simplest solution. I don't see any options in the preference dialog dealing with networking. I ran the vmware-config.pl script and it asked about networking. I enabled bridge networking (apparently it was already enabled) and disabled NAT networking (which apparently also was enabled by default). I started the sage image and typed "notebook" at the prompt. The vmware console spit out a paragraph like it was logging in, then it briefly flashed "Error starting notebook" and refreshed the screen back to the original login prompt. I read a bit of the documentation for vmware about the bridged networking, but still have some questions. Can I have vmware bridged to my (one and only) ethernet adapter and still have ethernet access from my host computer? Does vmware use my host IP address, or do I need a separate address for the vmware image? Thanks for the answers about the security issues.
