Whither VMware Player 5.0 VMNetCfg.exe?

Just upgraded to VMware Player 4.0.4 for the new 5.0.  The old method of obtaining VMNetCfg.exe seems to no longer work.  There is no "network.cab", and none of the .cab files that appear when you / extract have something akin to VMNetCfg.exe.

How to Player 5.0 configure us NAT, DHCP, etc in VMNetn adapters (what we used to do with VMNetCfg)?  If still VMNetCfg.exe, how to get it?

Thank you!

A smaller download package is VMware-workstation-version 9.0.0 - 812388.exe.tar because it is only 271.2 MB.  "Détarer" it and then use the same command line syntax to extract the contents of the executable file as in the past.

    A few days ago I installed VMware-player - 1.0.1 - 19317.exe on my new OS install for Windows 7 Ultimate and when he ran that he informed me that there is a newer version, so I downloaded it.

    After the installation of the new version, I asked me to uninstall my old version via the control panel. I wnt to run the uninstaller and it blue screened my PC would allow me to unintall it.

    I've tried several programs uninstall, some are free and some that I paid for, and whenever the PC blue screened during the uninstallation of the process and has not completed this process.

    VMware-player - 1.0.1 - 19317.exe disappeared from my PC I can say, however the new drive "VMware-player - 3.1.3 - 324285.exe" still will not install and needs me to complete before uninstalling it will pass.

    Hi all

    I would like to ask you a few questions about nat and DHCP settings.

    I have instaled vmware player 5.0.2 build-1031769, I have try some tutorials how to extract or find vmnetcfg.exe but without success.

    Do you have any idea how to change NAT / DHCP settings...?

    On the other hand, I have configured my computer viirtual as 'hosting only' in the network tab, but I have not received all the ip addresses of Vmnet1...

    Thanks in advance

    VMware Player 5.x comes more with the editor of network virtual vmnetcfg.exe but it comes with and installs the vmnetui.dll and can be raised by running the following in a command prompt administrator from the VMware Player command working directory (or include the QPF of vmnetui.dll in the command line).

  • VMWare Player wireless adapter question

    I'm relatively new to VMWare Player and have a network problem.  I am running VMWare player with a Windows 7 host and the VM v4.04.

    I use the VPN virtual machine and try to set up the virtual machine with the IP host wireless.


    The virtual computer network is set to Bridged w/Replicate and detects the card physical network, State and IP without problem, however, it does not detect the adapter wireless at all.  It is not in the virtual computer Device Manager, the period of INVESTIGATION, nor the State...

    What would be the right course of action?

    Thank you for your time.

    BTW VMware Player 3.x and later to not install the virtual network Editor by default and you will need to install it manually...

    To install the missing virtual network Editor, the command prompt:

    VMware-player-*.exe -e c:\vmptmp
    

    Then in the c:\vmptmp folder find the file c:\vmptmp\network.cab and extract (double-click on the .cab file) vmnetcfg.exe (virtual network editor) file in the working directory of VMware Player usually 'C:\Program VMware Player' or ' C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Player.  You can create a shortcut and place it with the shortcut of VMware Player, if you want to access it more easily.  Note: there are some for all the files to be extracted to then access the network.cab file.

    Vodkaholic27, let me start with the layoff of vodka for a bit and then set Virtual Machine network card to bridged and then assign a static IP address that is appropriate for the guest as the physical LAN operating system is the host.  Then in the local physical network for static IP address router you assigned in the guest OS configure it to allow Port Forwarding on the appropriate port.  Then, you will be able to access from outside local physical host network.  If it's just on the other system on the physical LAN to the host that you want to access the guest you need not set up the Port Forwarding on the router on the local physical host network, simply use linked by a bridge to the network adapter in the Virtual Machine.  If you use NAT to the NIC of the Virtual Machine, then you need to set Port Forwarding in the virtual network Editor.

  • VMWare Player and VLAN

    Hi all out there.

    I have a problem regarding virtual local networks and virtualization. The configuration is as follows. Our developers are about to get virtual machines with Linux (centos) guests on their desktop computers. Host machines are Windows 7 boxes with sufficient CPU, RAM and disk space. Each box has only one NIC installed and connected to the internal LAN. On this single cable Lan, there should be 2 VLANS:

    1. vLan id 100 for windows hosts (configured as default vLan on the switch ports)
    2. vLan id 199 for the machine virtual (different configuration for routing/firewall/proxy)

    The network for the virtual machine must be set to bridged, because making web development, developers must be able to access Web servers installed on the virtual machines via a browser.

    The original plan was to use VMware Player, install Linux, configure the vLan in the comments, and it works. But no package has left the virtual machine when you ping the default gateway of the vLan 199. To me, it seems that something is declining for all packages on vLan the vLan 199.

    The questions are:

    • VLANs are supported by VMware Player or workstation after all?
    • They are supported in a configuration like that?
    • How do we? Must be setup in Windows as well?

    Help would be very nice

    Greetings

    Joachim

    The default virtual network Editor is not installed with VMware Player and you will need to transform automatic bridging and define VMnet0 to use vLAN199 and then bridge network adapter to the Virtual Machine should work.

    For the workaround you can run VMware-player-* .exe - e c:\vmptmp from a command line and then search for the c:\vmptmp\network.cab file and extract (double-click on the .cab file) vmnetcfg.exe (virtual network editor) file in the working directory of VMware Player usually 'C:\Program Files\VMware/VMware Player', you can create a shortcut and place it with the shortcut of VMware Player If you want easier access.  NOTE: It takes several minutes for the VMware-player-* .exe to extract all then be patient.

  • VMware Player Installation bug

    Well, if I try to install the latest version or uninstall the old one, it's what I

    I think it happened after uninstalling earlier that maybe got cancelled or something, I don't really know. So yes, I'm stuck now with that, no uninstall, no installation. I tried manually deleting everything related to the tackler of vmware, but in vain. I followed what was mentioned somewhere, showing you how to remove related files, services and registry entries which have all been deleted when I checked.

    If any help? Other than to reinstall Win7 lol.

    For the workaround you can perform VMware-player-* .exe-e c:\vmptmp starting from a command line, then in the c:\vmptmp folder, run the .msi Installer.

    Also, before you delete the c:\vmptmp folder find the file c:\vmptmp\network.cab and extract (double-click on the .cab file) vmnetcfg.exe (virtual network editor) file in the working directory of VMware Player usually ' C:\Program Files\VMware/VMware Player ' you can create a shortcut and place it with the shortcut of VMware Player, if you want to access it more easily.  Isn't this utility is not installed by default however necessary to turn off the automatic bypass on VMnet0 if the system is multihomed and two or more physical host from the NETWORK adapter is active or you want to change the subnet of VMnet1 and VMnet8 addresses or work with additional VMnets.

  • Connect two VMs via the connection to the local network using VMWare Player

    So this topic can be posted already, but I'm at the end of the roll, trying to find a solution. I have VMWare player installed 3.1.4 on an enterprise_x64 of Windows 7 system. I configured two virtual machines: OS1 comments: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5.5_x64 and OS2 comments: WIndows 7 Ultimate_x64. I need the Linux server to act as a database server in the system environment, that I am creating. The Windows 7 VM will be the client PC. The Linux server is configured to be it's own DHCP server, so ideally the client PC connects to the field of tht and also follow the Linux server IP address.

    I tried all the options of networkign for each virtual computer, but no sem to create this type of connectivity. How to configure the network settings in VMWare Player to make two virtual computers can communicate with each other via a virtual network? (Communication with the host pc is not necessary)

    The short answer is to manually install the lack vmnetcfg.exe, Editor of virtual networkand configure VMnet2 without DHCP and host vNIC and then configure manually each virtual machine network adapter to use Custom VMnet2.

    The longer answer has already been given so many times that you should be able to find detailed directions, however...

    To install the lack vmnetcfg.exe, virtual network editor, run VMware-player-* .exe-e c:\vmptmp go to a command line and then in the c:\vmptmp folder, locate the file c:\vmptmp\network.cab and extract (double-click on the .cab file) vmnetcfg.exe (virtual network editor) file in the working directory of VMware Player usually ' C:\Program Files\VMware/VMware Player ' you can create a shortcut to it and place it with the shortcut of VMware Player if you want to access more easily to her.  This utility is not installed by default is however necessary to turn off the automatic bypass on VMnet0 if the system is multihomed and two or more physical host from the NETWORK adapter is active or you want change VMnet1 and VMnet8 subnet addresses or additional VMnets.

    The you must manually change the configuration of each virtual machine's .vmx file in Notepad, change an existing parameter and add another.

    Change:

    ethernet0.connectionType = "nat"
    

    TO:

    ethernet0.connectionType = "custom"
    

    Add:

    ethernet0.vnet = "VMnet2"
    

    Note: Regardless of connectionType ethernet (n) shows it should be changed to "custom".

    Be sure also to Machine virtual are stop, not suspended and VMware Player is closed when you edit the .vmx config files.

    Here are some pictures to show.

    Here in the VMnet2 virtual network Editor is selected and is how it should be if you what to use your own DHCP server and the host does not have a vNIC.  You can change the IP address as a result of your needs.

    Here's the value VM card network NAT settings.

    This is what network settings Virtual Machine map will look like after you change the configuration of the Virtual Machine's .vmx file to use Custom VMnet2.

    BTW if you replace the Machine network card virtual settings through the user interface customized by something else then you will need to manually edit the .vmx config file to retrieve.   With VMware Workstation, you do not need to manually install the virtual network editor and should not manually edit the .vmx config file as the custom list box is still present and shows all VMnets to select from.

  • VMware Player 3.1.4 & vmwarenet-cfg

    Hello

    I have a pc (host) with 2 nic slot XP pro SP3.

    I installed VMware Player 3.1.4 build 385536.

    I want to configure these 2 NICs in the systems of my guests.

    I want to give VM-adapter 1 nic1 via NAT and VM 2 adapter nic 2 via bypass.

    It is not possible for me to choose the 'true' - nic I want to connect to the VM adapter.

    I read that it should be possible with VMwarenet - cfg.exe.

    This command, but be in the "VMWare Player" directory.

    I don't find this command in that directory.

    Some can tell me how I can make the links I want to?

    Thank you

    Patrick

    You will need to do a few things...

    Read first configuring a virtual network section in the help file in VMware Player.

    Then you need to manually install the virtual network editor missing (vmnetcfg.exe) comes from the extracted network.cab file of the installation of VMware-player package - 3.1.4 - 385536.exe using the following syntax:

    VMware-player-3.1.4-385536.exe /e c:\vmptemp
    

    After having extracted the file vmnetcfg.exe from the network.cab file, you can put in the folder "C:\Program VMware Player" and if you want to create a shortcut to put with the VMware Player shortcut in the Start Menu.

    Then, run the virtual network editor and disable the automatic bypass for VMnet0 assigning the NIC goal

    Also VMware Player does not offer a way to customize the network adapter settings in the guest to use the specific VMnets as well through its user interface...

    In the configuration of the Virtual Machine's .vmx file, there are several settings for each Ethernet card if the form of:

    ethernet(n).
    

    Where (n)' is a number, i.e. ethernet0.

    For each NIC that you have to customize you must change the value of a parameter, while adding another network adapter.

    As an example of change:

    ethernet(n).connectionType = "nat"
    

    TO:

    ethernet(n).connectionType = "custom"
    

    Add:

    ethernet(n).vnet = "VMnet(n)"
    

    This will then allow the network adapter to use different VMnets.

  • VMware Player (VMware Workstation?) Interfere with the connection of the browser

    I installed VMware Player (or so I think) on Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2.  Here's what the Properties tab - & gt; Details shows for "C:\Program VMware Player\vmplayer.exe:

    I looked for this in order to make the version of the-what? -VMware Player or VMware Workstation I, and in order to find the right users Guide or manual.

    But this isn't my problem entirely.

    My problem is that I was using my HTTP (browser) client and it has been noticed that I could not connect to certain websites (e.g., http://www.gnu.org/).  I can do that at home, through my wireless router (configured for IP) static on the local network.  Then I go to work where I use the ethernet connection (not getting any IP by DHCP!... configured for a static IP address on the WAN).  I call tech info, that says they can connect.  I think it's because I'm using OpenDNS instead of the name of University servers, and then I enter the "Network Sharing Center' and see 'several networks' and THREE Local (ethernet) connections.

    After that think "WTF?" and think that 2 local connections and 3 are screwing things up, I disable all local connections and re-enable the connection with the hardware ethernet card.  Who has NOT solved the problem of my failed to connect to the web site, that is

    http://grub4dos.sourceforge.NET/

    The service

    http://GSiteCrawler.com/tools/server-status.aspx

    reports the HTTP 200 response code very quickly.  I use this service to see if the info tech group workplace blocks a web site.

    However, I want to learn more about virtual network maps created by the VMware Player (desktop?).  I ran the "vmnetcfg.exe" interface and in the Summary tab, see:

    Virtual network

    Subnet

    DHCP

    VMnet0 (bridged)

    255.255.255.255

    VMnet1 (host only)

    192.168.136.0

    Activated

    VMnet8 (NAT)

    192.168.219.0

    Activated

    The guide I want to read should explain what are these local ethernet adapters and they can interfere with the operation of the host outside of the virtual machine.

    Thank you

    Welcome to the forums!

    The guide: http://pubs.vmware.com/ws7_ace26/ws_user/ws_net.html#989125

    Where is your problem to browse occur? In comments or host?

    VMnet0 is the virtual bridged network. He connected the virtual NETWORK adapter of your guests who are bridge transparently to your physical network device.

    VMnet1 is the network invited only, a virtual, where the host and the guests are members of. You see a VMnet1 NIC on the host, because it's the virtual card that the host uses to connect to VMnet1.

    VMnet8 is the NAT network. It connects to each stack TCP/IP Protocol on the host computer. Therefore the guest may use any communication device that uses TCP/IP. Th egust is hidden behind the NAT device. This means that all packets leaving the host, coming from the prompt appear to come from the host. VMnet8 virtual card is one that connects to the host on VMnet8 virtual network to enable external communication for the customer.

  • Guy Android coming to BB. Installation with VMWare player/Simulator/SDK issues

    I installed it,

    C/C++ QNX Momentics IDE...installer-bbndk-BB10_0_04-win32-186-201204250810-201204251322.exe
    BlackBerry10Simulator... BlackBerry10Simulator-Installer-BB10_0_04-195-Win-201204262359.exe
    VMWare... VMware-player-version 4.0.3 - 703057.exe

    I go to the early stages of QNX Momentics IDE and try opening an example (SDK)
    I get the Setup Deployment Wizard. I go to Device Setup and choose Simulator.
    What should I do now? The last step click the HELP (?) says he launched the Simulator, but I get a page with the title "Blackberry Simulator is not found and it's looking for a file VNX. I checked and tripled check the previous steps on the help icon.

    The Simulator is deadlocked C:\Documents and Settings\User1\My Documents\Virtual Machines\BlackBerry10Simulator-BB10_0_04. And I clearly see a BlackBerry10Simulator.vmx file in there
    but the SDK app doesn't see a single VMX file. The folder 'controllers' and other records.

    I tried the VMWare Player. It works very well.

    What I am doing wrong?

    Hey be based,

    The initial installation of the IDE and Simulator can be sometimes a bit daunting. Some of these steps you've done but im going anyway to list them:

    1. raise some Code by signing keys: keys

    2. download and install Momentics IDE and install

    3. download and install Blackberry Simulator

    4 download and install VMWare

    5 disable all firewall programs including windows firewall

    6. open VMWare-> choose open a Virtual Machine-> access your VNX file and open it

    7 if it opens really slow try changing options in VMWare 2 CPU and see if you can activate the "Virtualization technology" or "AMD Virtualization" in the BIOS

    8 the address of development of the Simulator (click the icon of the person with the toothed wheel on the menu bar of your alpha dev Simulator

    9. open the IDE, click window > Preferences on Windows and select BlackBerry and click BlackBerry Setup Wizard Deployment.

    10. follow the onscreen instructions to set up your target (Simulator or device) and add your chips of the device debugging.

    11 A this point your simulator could not auto discover so add your IP address you found earlier and if you haven't added a password in your simulator then let empty password.

    12. the rest of the wizard of BlackBerry deployment configuration should work just fine.

    13 open a sample application

    14. click on the file of the bar - descriptor.xml in the Project Explorer view, and then select "Set of symbolic debugging.

    15. right click on the project file, and then select Configurations to Build > Set Active > 4 Simulator-Debug

    16. right click on the project file, and then select generate the project.

    17. then right click on the project again and select run as > BlackBerry Application C/C++

    18. If all goes well, everything should work from there.

    Remember you need to do 14-17 for each project you want to run through the Simulator. And always turn on the virtual machine before you start the IDE I found that things always work better that way.

    I hope this helps!

  • VMWare Player, NAT and firewall

    Hello

    I'm running VMWare Player 7.1.2 with Windows 8.1 as host and Debian Linux as a target.  I want to run the network card in NAT mode for the isolation it provides to Linux.  I have tightened my windows machines and thus, set windows firewall to block all outbound connections except those covered by specific rules.  When I turn this firewall does not block OFF, NAT network works fine, when I turn it on, NAT does not work.  I tried to add each firewall rule, that I can think of, such as the possibility of vmnat, VMnetDHCP and vmware-authd, as a program and a service.  The rules, which I configured include all ports and protocols.  No rule allows traffic NAT of VMWare Player.

    Thoughts?

    OK, I found a solution.

    First of all, I would say that I use the Windows Firewall, not McAfee etc.

    The crux of the problem is that there are two instances of vmnat.exe on my machine.  The first is in the VMWare Player folder (as I predicted), and the second is in \Windows\SysWOW64.

    * Opening a rule for the program in VMWare Player, for all services, does not work.

    Opening of rule for Windows (which is defined as the SysWOW64 version) services, for all programs, does not work.

    * However, the opening of a rule for the program in SysWOW64, for all services, works.

    It's weird, because the player is definitely using Windows services, because it if you stop, the machine virtual loose connectivity, but create a firewall rule for the Department is insufficient.  Instead, I have to define a rule based on the programs and point to the exe file that is managed by the service.  No other firewall rule is necessary.

    I do not fully understand, but it's the solution to my problem.

    Hello

    I installed VMware Player v7, created a virtual machine (Windows) and wanted to install the VMware Tools via Player > manage > install VMware Tools... but nothing happens when I click on this option. The following 2 other methods I found in a Ko do not work either:

    • Enter D:\setup.exe where D: is the first CD-ROM drive configured for your virtual computer = > NOK as the virtual drive does not show the VMware tools.
    • Looking for the ISO file in the installation folder = > NOK: there is no ISO file.

    After searching on the forum, I realized that VMware Player doesn't come with VMware tools and workaround I used was to install VMware Workstation without a license on another computer, find the file "windows.iso", copy it to the computer, mount it as a virtual drive and start the client installation.

    The thing I don't understand is the reason for which the option is available in the VMware Player menu if the VMware tools are not? It's very confusing for people new to VMware and only install VMware Player...

    You need not download VMware workstation to get VMware Tools in VMware Player!  VMware Player 7 is working fine on my system and had no problem downloading VMware tools, so maybe it's a problem specific to your environment/system that may block recovery.
