SonarSubs Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 (edited) After installing Vista on VMware, I used the Install VMware Tools option. This installed the VM Mouse, VM VGA, and SUPPOSEDLY the VMware NIC driver to use with NAT networking as the previous versions of Windows run without problems. But Vista does not recognize the VMware NIC that is loaded. Any tips?Anyone successfully connected to the internet with Vista via WMware?

fizban2 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Got vista installed on VMware 5.5, working fine for all drivers. Had to use another NIC besides my onboard. are you using a NAT or bridged connection for the NIC into the VM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonarSubs Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 using nat connection, as previous versions of windows use well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Snrub Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 VMWare 5.5 with NAT connectivity to XP Pro SP 2 running Vista works fine here.Host OS is a DHCP client on a LAN NAT'd to the Internet.NIC & display adapters appear fine in Device Manager when VMWare Tools is installed, just the audio adapter doesn't get a driver by default.When you installed VMWare Tools, did Windows Defender kick in and block 2 or 3 actions that require approval? That might have prevented some necessary registry modifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizban2 Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 It should have brought up at least 2, depending on his HW,Sonar Check Windows defender and see if there are any pending registry changes that need to be approved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
