[gentoo-user] Re: vmware-server-console cannot connect to vm
btw, the 'vmware-server-console' program requires a -P (port) argument, but i do not understand what kind of port number should i give. i remember while installing the server, a port 902 is opened by default for accessing the guest os. is it the port that the program expected? anyway, i tried with this port without luck.
