Does the service vmware start without problems ?

VMWARE ethernet + sound

[Clete Blackwell 2]

Uh, I don't see any errors. I am running the Windows version of vmware.
(didn't feel like emerging it on Linux, I already had 4.5 installed,
laziness).

network settings u use in FC ?

VMWARE ethernet + sound

[Clete Blackwell 2]

I don't think it really matters what is loaded now, really. Anyways, lsmod
( I think that's the one that checks what modules are loaded ) is not in my
PATH, so what directory is it in?

It says I have some 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE] card in eth0 (which is the fake
card of vmware, but it's not the right one, as it's not working).

I get this when /etc/init.d/network start ing:

[clete2@localhost init.d]$ su
Password: <entered password>
[root@localhost init.d]# ./network start (in the /etc/init.d folder)
Setting network parameters:              [  OK  ]
Bringing up loopback interface:          [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface eth0:
Determining IP information for eth0... failed; no link present. Check cable?
[FAILED]
[root@localhost init.d]#

(my my, the PATH is empty, not even dhcpcd is in there, how DO I add to my
path?)

(thanks for the help by the way)

U've setup FC to get an IP from the DHCP server that vmware should be 
running. What king of network connection did u select for the Virtual 
Machine ?

I have the same problem with the network not comming up. Try this,
switch to root in a console and type dhclient
That should make it try again and pull an ip address. It is a pain in
the ass but it works for me everytime.

Add this to your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethx :

check_link_down() {
     return 1;
}

I have already sent a message to this thread a while ago. Must have 
gone to no-where ladn..

There is a known problem with the Lance PCnet 'virtual interface' and 
the media detect functionality of Redhat/Fedora ...

Add this to your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethx :

check_link_down() {
    return 1;
}

A good place is just after your BOOTPROTO=dhcp line. This information 
is in the VMware knowledge base by the way.

It may be a good idea to use 'PEERDNS=yes' in the ifcfg-ethx file too, 
as that will allow dhcp to get DNSinformation via DHCP if possible..

Cheers,
Michael

I didn't actually read these questions until after I posted the 
solution to your NIC problem in VMware...

Things like 'lsmod' are considered 'priveledged commands' and are in 
/sbin  . Another directory for priveledged commands is /usr/sbin  . 
Normal commands are in /usr/bin or /bin as usual.

A normal user's default path in Fedora does not have /sbin or /usr/sbin  .

One way to find the location of commands is either 'which' or 'wheris' 
  . For example 'whereis lsmod'

The fact it isn't working does not meen it's the wrong driver.. See my 
other post for solution.

Try 'su -' . root's path includes /sbin and /usr/sbin . The '-' tells 
su to load root's environment. 'man su '  for more details.
