• System froze for a minute while searching for a missing network drive

  When, for example, browse the files in the Windows Explorer home & network is disconnected, the system tends to freeze for half a minute, as it is waiting for the sharing network address. No processes are active in the Manager of tasks (idling only), but the computer is devoid. This happens on any PC, computers cell phones not only. Does anyone know how to get rid of this behavior, or at least to shorten the waiting period?
  There is a solution to disconnect network drives, but I would like to find something more simple.

  Hello

  Looks like you have mapped some network drives to your operating system.
  I think if you're looking for files or something like that OS trying to get permission to search or enter the network drives.
  But if the network is disconnected from the operating system takes several times to see that.

  I put t know if there is a solution for these issues. But try to google for more details. Maybe you about success. Please report if you find useful information

  Good luck

• Network bridge in VMware Workstation 11 connection problems

  I have bridged network connection problems in VMware Workstation 11. So far I have tried:

  
  

  Re: Windows Pro/Ent 8.1 Overview invited - stop Windows Net Performance, away from work

  
  

  Re: Flow very slow network-> Guest host, but no comments <-home

  
  

  So far, none of the solutions worked. I turned off "Large Send Offload" on each adapter that I could find on the host and the guest. Nothing. Restore these settings in any combination with other out does not work either. I edited the .vmx file and replace by vmxnet3 occurrences, and that no longer works. So far nothing I've tried has worked. I disabled all firewall and antivirus. Still nothing. When I run Guest OS Windows Network Diagnostics, I get the "your modem broadband has connectivity problems." However, I know that this is not the case. I also used the "Virtual Network Editor" to force the bridge connection to select the correct network card (in my case, it's the Intel Centrino Wireless - N 1030 wireless card), but still no luck. Any help would be much appreciated.

  So I finally the solution look. BitDefender firewall was blocking all traffic on the connection Bridged in VMware Workstation. I have disabled the firewall completely Bitdefender and Bridged Networking worked perfectly. I'll probably create another topic more precisely around Bitdefender firewall configuration to allow traffic network through Bridged from VMware.

• Networking question in VMware Workstation / nested ESXi network configuration problem

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to set up a virtual lab, I setup a domain, a vcenter server and up to 1 ESXi host controller.

  I am really struggling with the network aspect in establishing a vmnic for storing shared, please see the attached screenshots and a few questions:

  1. Is a vmnic a real network map? or vmnic correspond to "network adapters" that you put in place since the setting of your virtual machine?

  I followed a tutorial and implement 3 NICs on the ESXi host, in Bridge mode, I tried this in my configuration of vmworkstation and I lose the connection to my server vcenter to the ESXi host.

  See screenshot attached to how I configured my ESXi host, screenshot is called 'screenshot2esxihost network', I run got each of the maps defined on NAT network.

  

  See also the screenshot of how I have my configuration of network settings in my VMWare Workstation, screenshot is called "screenshot1. the tutorial does not show how it has its editor of the virtual network configuration, but it puts its ESXi host NICs in BRIDGED mode, and I'm guessing that you can set this time within the virtual network adapter. If someone could tell me what changes should I make in there and on the network cards in my ESXi host, which would be really useful.

  

  My domain controller, server ESXi hosts and vcenter are currently on the 192.168.86 range, which currently stood at NAT

  See also a screenshot from the vsphere client - I don't see a vmnic "vmnic0", my goal is to be able to add a "vmnic2" for a separate storage network.

  

  any help would be received with gratitude, I VCP510 review at the end of the month and really hope to be able to get my lab setup as soon as possible.

  The vmnic is the rising 'physical' of an ESXi host. So with the 3 network cards that you configured for the host in VMware Workstation you will see under "Network adapters" and you can use them to vSwitches in the section "network".

• Win XP host gets restart everything install Windows 8 comments in VMWare Workstation 9.01

  Hello

  I have a machine that running Windows XP SP3 with 2 GB (DDRII) of RAM with Intel Core 2 E7400 2.80 GHz processor. I want to test Winodws 8 before you install on this machine. I have download and install VMWare Workstation 9.01. Then I rebooted my system and went into my BIOS and put the "No.-Execute memory Protection" 'Activate' and the system boots. Now when I try to install Windows 8 in the VMWare machine, which I set up for the OS, just like the VMWare logo screen with the F2 and F12 options my whole system restarts.  Someone at - he meets this type of problem?

  
  

  AnthonyL25

  I think that if the goal here it to test Windows 8 then I uninstall VMware Workstation 9 and try VirtualBox and see if this causes the same question.  Another thing you can do is give it a try on your host using Memtest86RAM, or similar, to make sure that's not a problem with bad RAM to a greater address then you normal would not not a VM running.   If RAM tests OK and works of VirtualBox, you can always try an earlier version of VMware Workstation, but I think not v7 supports Windows 8 as a guest.  I've used VirtualBox for Windows 8, and it worked very well!

• VMware Workstation 7 and Modem USB Huawei E1550 broadband

  I have Modem Huawei E1550 Broadband USB.

  I install the software and it works fine without problem.

  When I connect the Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 identify two piece of hardware (CD-ROM and 3 G USB Modem).

  I install VMware Workstation 7.

  Windows 7 stop identify Modem USB when I connect it and when I try to quit after removing the USB Modem, he never stop

  I'm trying to uninstall VMware workstation 7

  The return of the Modem to work.

  I install VMware Workstation 7 again.

  The modem stop to rework

  What should I do to work around this problem?

  As a test, you can re - install vmware workstation (the latest version) and after the installation if you meet him problem go to Microsft services

  > Start > run > servics.msc

  find the Vmware USB arbitration service

  Double-click on > Startup Type > set to manual > click stop > OK

  Now, make sure your devices are running, or you can always restart as well.  Now, you will not be able to use "pass through" for your virtual machines, but this seems to be a bug known, and currently no ETA

  Now, for a permanent solution to the users have restarted no problem with the help of Vmware Workstation 6.5 - this thread also covers this:

• VMWare workstation is unresponsive - start

  Hello

  I have problem with VMWare workstation 6.5.

  I use wIndows xp sp 2 as host operating system and originally vmware workstation has functioned well. Also, I managed to install different guest operating system.

  But suddenly, vmware workstation doesn't work. If I run the application it doesnot start at all. None of the vmware services are running, and if I try to boot, it does not start.

  I didn't do any modification or installated any additional demand. I just Macfee antivirus (which was earlier also) and a few other basic running in background services.

  Yesterday, I uninstalled vmware workstation and tried to install vmware workstation 7, but the installation does not start. Now I can't even install vmware workstation 6.5 and 7. It does not, means nohing comes. Everything else (other applications) works very well.

  Please suggest or help

  Kind regards

• How to configure the network adapter when you run ESXi on VmWare workstation?

  How to configure the network card installing ESXi on VmWare workstation 6.0.0?

  These are the options: I tried bridged, host-only NAP.  None of them works

  

  What Miss me? driver or adapater?

  I'm running on vmware workstation on Windows 7 with Lenovo laptop.

  in the configuration of your virtual machine, the main issue is memory. you gave the 2 GB of RAM, whereas ESXi 6 cannot go forward without minimum 4 GB of RAM.

  If please have 4 GB of RAM and re-run Setup. you will get through.

  message about the network card should also not appear after that. What kind of network you choose depends on your need.

• Core upgraded to 4.0 on Centos 7 VMWare Workstation 11 won't build the virtual network device

  As shown in the topic, I have manually compiled kernel 4.0 for my installation of CentOS 7. After the installation of the kernel (in rpm mode, followed the instructions here: How to compile a Kernel - The Way CentOS ) installed all 3 rpm, kernel, kernel-headers and kernel-devel and then tried to start my installation of workstation with it leads to having to re - build the components (as usual)

  It does not, when it came to the compilation of the network management module. See attached log file that it generated.

  I also tried to uninstall, downloaded VMware-Workstation-Full - 11.1.0 - 2496824.x86_64.bundle and re-installed with the same result.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  aaand..., I fixed my only problem!

• 2.04 Ubuntu comments on VMware Workstation 9 under Win7 can't see ext4 USB drive

  Comments from 2.04 Ubuntu on VMware Workstation 9 under Win7: on computer A trivially, I connected to an out-of-the-box 64 GB USB drive formatted for VFAT on Ubuntu in a VM. I re-init'ed the player for ext4 (mkfs.ext4), mounted, drop a bunch of stuff on him (which took awhile), he dismounted and walked away. The next day, identically configured computer B, I inserted the USB key. Natch, Win7 may not go up because it does not ext4. But Ubuntu don't see either, so I can't be installed. Do not see under removable devices, no small icon bottom left of the screen of VMware, nothing in the settings menus or properties, etc. I think it's just me being a noob to VMware, but it seems that Ubuntu under VMware Workstation 9 cannot see the drive unless Win7 can go up. Seems unlikely. KB searching, Googling, etc. produce many unrelated things. Ideas? AdvTHANKSance.

  Here is the final answer: works great on an earlier version of VMware Workstation 9 on one of the Windows 7 of my client machines, it didn't work on my Windows 7 computer. I upgraded to VMware Workstation 10 on my Windows 7 computer, and now it works perfectly. If I call you this a bug in this version later 9 which was set at 10. Could also be had I simply uninstalled 9 and reinstalled which would have fixed it too. But I'll never know.

• How to add a second hard drive Ubuntu Server, that runs on vmware workstation 9

  Hello

  I am running vmware workstation on windows 9 8, and I installed Ubuntu 12.10 as a virtual machine on my SSD. I installed a second hard drive in the machine and use the "Add a HDD" feature on vmware workstation to add and pre-allocate space. The problem is that the drive does not appear in Ubuntu. I have checked/Media and / dev, I expected to see something like /sda *. It is a procedural step, I missed it, please help!

  Do I have to mount the drive in a special way? How can I check if it is properly attached?

  Thank you!

  What you said so far, it's like adding a second physical drive to a physical computer and the operating system cannot access until it was partitioned and formatted, and then it can be mounted.  To do the same thing in a VM!
