Hi Warner, 127.0.0.1 is also known as localhost or the loopback address. Pinging it just means that the machine is pinging itself. Unless something is really screwy with your networking configuration, that should work.
Are you trying to connect to the VMware server from the same machine that you installed it on? If not then you'll need to know the name or address of the machine that VMware is installed on. Is the Vmware server software running? Keith On Sat, Mar 21, 2009 at 5:09 PM, Warner White <[email protected]>wrote: > Vaguers-- > > I gotta problem. > > I've been trying to set up VMware Server 2.
