How do I get this to work? This is the VMWare image, right? Networking and VMWare are a bit weird. I'm not using the player so things might be a bit different, but I have options in VMWare to set the networking up three ways. * Host-only : The network can only send/receive to the host OS. No other machine can communicate with the guest OS. * Bridged : The guest OS is effectively plugged straight into the network. It'll get an address from the main network. Other machines should be able to see it. * NAT : The guest OS looks like it's behind a NAT-ing router. Effectively it always gets the same address whatever network the host OS is on. Other machines probably can't see it, but it can see the real network. I expect you want Bridged, but probably are set-up for something else. > Do I have to make an entry in the Firewall > Virtual servers section > of my router or something like that? Firewall on your laptop, or firewall on a router on the network? If it's on the router, then no, that's only for access outside your network. If we're talking about on the laptop, then I'm not sure. I'd expect VMWare (in bridged mode) to bypass the firewall as it's receiving packets on a different address to the one the firewall is monitoring, but I don't know. As I said VMWare and networking is a little odd. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
