I don't know if this is relevant, but two things: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
1. The VMware devices that are used are VMware Accelerated AMD PCNet |
| 15 |
Adapter #5 (for NAT on vmnet8) and VMware Accelerated AMD PCNet |
| 16 |
Adapter #4 (for eth0 on vmnet0). I wonder why they aren't assigned to |
| 17 |
adapters in the range 0-3? I never see adapter #0 or #1, even when I |
| 18 |
use WinXP's Device Manager (with hidden devices visible). |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
2. There is a Gentoo directory called /etc/vmware/vmnet8, but no |
| 21 |
directory /etc/vmware0. Yes, the eth0 bridge is up: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
$ ps -efww | fgrep bridge |
| 24 |
==> |
| 25 |
root 30055 1 0 09:32 ? 00:00:00 \ |
| 26 |
/opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmnet-bridge -d \ |
| 27 |
/var/run/vmnet-bridge-0.pid /dev/vmnet0 eth0 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
/dev/vmnet0 exists and has the same owner and permissions as /dev/vmnet8. |
