Hi,
I have installed Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition on my VMWare but I am not able to access my local desktop PC and also not able to access internet.
My local PC is Windows XP professional and I installed Loopback adaptor in it and in VMWare Windows 2003 I installed AMD card and assign IP.
VMWare Windows 2003 :
IP 192.168.0.1
Subnet : 255.255.255.0

Windows XP : 192.168.0.2
Subnet : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 192.168.0.1

Can someone assist me where I am wrong and how I can setup connectivity.

Thanks and Regards,

(Anurag Goswami)

You'll need to shut down the VM using either the VM console or Virtual Center. Assign a NIC to the VM, restart the VM itself, then make your IP configuration on the virtual adapter (it'll show up as a physical NIC as far as Windows is concerned.)

Do you have other VMs on your host that can connect to your PC and the Internet? If not, you may need to take a look at your overall VMware configuration as well.

Hope that helps!
