Anyway I tried running it on a newer laptop on my network, and it did

go to the suggested address (192.168.175.128) the sage server starts
up and I can execute sage commands. (Yay!!)
I'm wondering though, can I run sage from another computer on my
network? After starting the sage server on the laptop as usual, I
tried typing in 192.168.175.128 in the browser on my desktop computer,
but it just reports that it can't connect. 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.
