Why are there 2 VMNet network cards?

I'm experimenting with virtual Windows which is now native with Windows 7. I noticed that VMware Workstation installed at a minimum 2 ECS (VMNet1 and VMNet8) in the system, so that Windows virtual host installed only 1 network card.

What is the additional adapter for? This means in the host system, there is now a minimum of 3 networks (1 from the host and 2 VMware).

Can I disable one of them? Can I both (or both) if I use the bridge mode?

By default, VMware Workstation offers three options of networking:

VMnet0 (bridged) - which is the type of connection used for the virtual NETWORK adapter that connects the guest seamlessly to the physical network.

VMnet1 (host only) - it's a virtual switch/network where only guests and guests can participate

VMnet8 (NAT) - it's a virtual/network switch that connects the guest to the outside but hidden behind a virtual NAT device. SO it can "t be seen from the outside world.

There is another option, called 'custom' where you can decide how it should work, you can only, for example.

All of these networks is independent of what you use in your comments. You can add vNIC guests to each type, only one or several or mix them...

If you use bridged networks you can turn them off if you wish on the host. Disable the DHCP of VMware Server service then, as well. But you can also keep them running. They do not adversely affect your environment.

  • Configuration of backups from iCloud drive: why are there two Mobile Documents files?

    I've recently started using iCloud drive to synchronize documents between my Mac and iOS devices. Now, I want to assure you that I have local backups of these documents.

    I understand that the documents synchronized via iCloud are store locally in my Mobile user home/library/Documents folder. But when I check I made 2 folders: Documents Mobile and Mobile Documents.90391253.  The Documents Mobile folder seems to keep all the records that I created using Pages, drafts and TextEdit.  The second folder has files with obscure names such as ' JFJWWP64QD ~ com ~ goodiware ~ GoodReader. ". Records of Documents that I checked are empty.

    Here is a screenshot of the second folder:

    Why are there two folders of Documents Mobile? When you add a folder to a backup program, I would add two folders or just the folder Documents Mobile?

    The second folder (the one your screenshot) is a backup of an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, which was made via iTunes. More information: finding and managing your backups iTunes - Apple Support

  • Why are there red exclamation points next to my files

    Why are there red exclamation points next to my files on the desktop

    Hi Lankiller99,

    Using backup software?

    By chance are you using Norton 360? Try disabling the backup on the same status-

    Norton-> settings-> backup settings of-> backup status overlays-> OFF-> apply.

    Run the manual backup, it should be ok.

  • Why are there redundant for Microsoft Security Essentials download sites?

    Original title: Microsoft Security Essentials:

    At the insistence of some other people on this community, I decided to start another thread for this exact same topic:

    Why are there redundant for Microsoft Security Essentials download sites? I went on the first site in my search on the web:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=520

    It looks pretty official to me, however, there is only one problem with the above site. Download options are way too vague for us lay people. After publication on the website of MS Community, I was quickly corrected on my ad which does not seem to be an idle thread and offered a link to download the instructions and frequently asked questions that did not work. Much later, I was offered another site to download with different language options and a more detailed description of download:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Security-Essentials-all-versions

    Well, I have to ask the same question again, but in a different way: why society billions of dollars allows this kind of nonsense (multiple and various download sites on the web) occur under their name? Excuse me if I look a little frustrated on this problem, but I am!

    Here's what the site was used initially. I still don't know which version to download for use on this site. The only distinction: "amd64" or "x 86". I don't know looking below that mean both.

    Version:
    Date of publication:

    4.4.0304.0

    10/11/2013

    Name of the file:
    File size:

    ENUS\amd64\MSEInstall.exe

    13.0 MB

    ENUS\x86\MSEInstall.exe

    10.6 MB

    Download sites are for companies and technicians who need to deploy these.  Basically, the people who understand and who need these details.

    For consumers (users of this community site), the printable page is simply microsoft.com/security_essentials

    Here, you can easily get the version you need.

    Probably because you have multiple tnsnames files in your directory.

  • What is the difference between vmware.log vmware - 1.log, vmware - 2.log... Why are there different logs created

    Experts of HI, need some advice what is the difference between vmware.log vmware - 1.log, vmware - 2.log... Why are there different logs created. I understand the vmware.log is to check when the VM not suite or something, but not sure the rest feed files. Thank you

    Log files are rotated once a virtual computer is turned on or when the file reaches a certain size. The vmware.log (without number) is the current log file. By default, the old files are kept for purposes of troubleshooting. You can - even if I do not - recommend disable this behavior, or even configure the virtual machine to do not create the log files at all.
