  My laptop runs Win7, I use Google Chrome, PuTTY, WinSCP client-side

  My hardware router has an IP address 192.168.0.1

  My VMware - Server Ubuntu - is configured to use the DHCP protocol

  Online I mean a wireless connection to the router and the internet

  Offline - I mean wireless internet connection/no

  Networking networking

  Works ok online. Does not work in offline mode

  When online, I get IP 192.168.0.7 ifconfig in vmware... I can ping the router from the virtual machine and ping the server ubuntu from the command-line to Win7

  Offline... Ping from VM to the router and Ping from Win7 to VM fail.

  NAT networking

  Does not work online or offline

  When 'online' I get IP 192.168.91.128 to ifconfig in VMware, I can ping the router hardware virtual machine ok. When I ping the server ubuntu command line of Win 7 I Request Timed Out

  In offline mode, I get the same IP 192.168.91.128 to ifconfig in the virtual machine. I can't ping the virtual machine hardware router... Destination Host Unreachable. When I ping the server ubuntu command line of Win 7 I have inaccessible Destination host

  Host-Only

  does not work for me either online of offline...

  While online, that is to say that I can get the IP... 192 168 110 128 but the virtual machine can't ping router... Network unreachable. Win7 cannot ping server... Request Timed Out

  While offline, I get the same address IP 192 168 110 128, but VM is unable to ping router network unreachable. Win7 cannot ping server... Destination Host Unreachable

  On the screenshot-VMnet1 as VMnet8 - have APIPA (assigned automatically free private) IP addresses, which should not be the case. Unfortunately I can't tell you what is the cause! Could be something of a facility fails to a VPN client. What you can do, is click on the 'Restore defaults' button in the editor of virtual network or re - install VMware Player (uninstall, reboot the host and reinstall "as Administrator").

  If you have access to the virtual network editor depends on the VMware Player version you are using. With some older versions - which had the "vmnetui.dll" in the installation folder - it was possible to start to operate:

  rundll32.exe vmnetui.dll VMNetUI_ShowStandalone

• VMWare Player license for police headquarters

  Community in the morning,

  My question is: am I allowed to use VMWare Player for free in a headquarters of the German police or ist also "commercial use"?

  Thanks for your replies

  Hans

  Hello Hans,.

  It's actually a tough question, because the common phrase "for no commercial use" is rather vague and does not really respond when it's really a commercial use. In the FAQ of player, they use the term: "VMware Player is free for personal use."

  So I would read, if you use in your office on your desktop pc, it is not really a personal use, even you generate profits using.

  I don't know if this is the appropriate contact, but you can try to contact VMware directly and ask them. There is a branch in Germany.

  It's the public sector team mailing address is: [email protected]

• How do you install Browser v10.0 Appliance in VMware Player?

  Hello

  I need advice/help please,

  I try to install the Browser Appliance v10.0 in VMware Player without success despite trying countless hours over the past five days, this software is certainly not newbie friendly :)

  .

  I can't find the button 'Browse dialog for the configuration of the virtual machine' which is part of the instructions below

  I tried many different ways to try to install it in VMware Player during the last five days, but nothing seems to work, I installed Ubuntu in VMware Player and then tried to find a way to install the device browser in Ubuntu, but nothing works.

  Here are the instructions I received with Browser Appliance v10.0 I downloaded on my pc that are outdated maybe?...

  Browser device, v10.0 - README file

  Edit the vmx file and change this line
  virtualHW.version = "4".
  TO
  virtualHW.version = "6".
  8 or 9 if it does not work

  a double-click on this file should do the trick

• Distribution of VMware Player

  How can I get information about how to distribute VMware Player?

  On the page http://www.VMware.com/products/player/FAQs.html I read that " VMware Player is free for personal and non-commercial use." VMware Player is only distributable with written permission from VMware. Apply here to request a distribution agreement. ».

  How can I get additional information about the procedure (and the costs, if any) to a distribution contract?

  Greetings,

  Thank you for your message.

  First of all, I hope that you can get a touch of the player_distribution team.

  So far, I was unable to get in touch with that whatsoever on this matter.

  Be patient, I am confident that you will get a response.

  To be honest, I was not aware of the existence of the team of player_distribution and yours it the first reference I see: is it possible to get in touch with them? They have an e-mail address, a request for information page or something like?

  Again, if you have filled out the contact form, then I am confident will contact you. As for an e-mail address, I had a response to an email are [email protected] .

  I'm still waiting for a response to the message I sent from the reader page, weeks and weeks... Furthermore, if I can't get information about the procedure of distribution before you enter data into the form I would have to consider a different technology.

  Again, please be patient, I think you're going to get a contact. Also know that I share your frustration regarding the difficulty of using the drive with a project you want to deploy and/or share with others. I do not understand the agreement of long duration for a free download tool. And I believe that the proliferation of the player help only VMWare. I'm just a petition for a simpler model for people like me and maybe you.

  I hope that people of VMWare will consider the dialogue on this issue and respond.

• VMware Player 5: license has expired...

  In trial of VMware Fusion 5 Professional, there is also the possibility to insert the serial number of the trial in VMware Player (thus allowing commercial use) this: out of curiosity (I need not commercial use of the reader), I tried this, a month ago...

  The problem is that now VMware Player (nested within a Fusion Windows 7 VM, mainly to the XP operating Mode), in the title bar indicate that the evaluation period has passed; while I would of course prefer that he returned to the original behavior, that is, where it is said that it is only for non-commercial use, in the title bar.

  In the meantime, I also bought Fusion 5 in the normal version, in box (currently, I don't need the pro features).

  Yes, there are some parameters (hidden?) in Windows 7 that can restore the text "for non-commercial use" in title bar (instead of have "expired") Player...?

  In OS X, as far as I know, the license information in "Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion": but in Windows 7... where is he?

  Uninstalling and reinstalling player would fix the problem?

  Removal of the license key in the Windows registry will reset on "VMware Player (Non-commercial use only)".

• How to download and use my Win 7 Pro prior in a Virtual Machine in VMWARE PLAYER?

  before 3 years, I bought a win 7 pro PC - recently, I fee install 8.1... How to download and use my prior Win 7 Pro in a Virtual Machine in VMWARE PLAYER?

  Unfortunately, you must have prepared a recovery disk in advance or use the one provided with your computer.

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  Thank you very much

  You were quite right about the execution of my VM from an external drive USB - no problem at all.

  Today experiences confirm that:

  (a) I can run my VMS on Windows 7 and Windows 8 from an external USB

  (b) VMPlayer can create files hard greater than 2 TB in size (on Windows 7 and Windows 8 guests)

  (c) I can't reach my Data.VHDX file on my Windows 8 host

  (d) I can set up as a shared folder inside my VM on Windows 8

  (e) I can copy files from the shared folder to a drive on my virtual machine.

  Certainly, this closes this discussion - thanks a lot for your help.

  VMware does not support the operation of Mac OS X in VMware Player/workstation!  Also, legally virtualisables versions of OS X running in a Virtual Machine cannot be done when done in the Apple brand hardware but when done while running under OS X and for that you have VMware Fusion of VMware Player/Workstation or you violate Apple's SLA for this product.  So any help can you provided for OS X in this use of the scenarios that it would violate the community VMware operating conditions to do.
