vmware - issue

h2009 · 23 Sep 2008 at 18:23

Hi there,
I've installed Vmware and the only opinion i get is to connect to a host. I cant install a virtual machine.

any ideas why?

Im running windows 2008 64x.

Thanks

Which version of VMWare did you install? There are server and workstation components.

VMware server - that is correct isnt it?

Haven't tried it on 2008 x64, tho in Vista x64 you need to disable driver signing for VMWare Server to connect to a host.

iirc you have to enter your windows username and password....

I've tried to enter my username and password and host as the IP address of the network card. But no luck 'logging in'.
Oh by the way if i enter my ip address and details - i get the message 'connection refused'.

Any other ideas?

I've just bought the workstation verison and its seems to be working now. I'll be posting again if there is an issue.
