i currently have windows xp professional on my system. i installed vmware and running the same OS on it. everything works the way i want on vmware except 1 thing. i cant get the internet working on vmware so that i can surf the internet. i have t1 and the way i have it set up is that i have to manually enter the ip's in local area conection/internet protocal (tcp/ip) and type in the gateway, subnet mask, alternative, preferred etc. the internet works on my main desktop. but on vmware workstation, i cant access internet. how do i configure t1 so that i can use internet on both vmware and my desktop? thankyou

Do you have it setup to use NAT? In the VM properties you will see Ethernet NAT. It will use DHCP to assign the VM an IP.

thanks cyberpyr8 both my desktop and vmware internet wrks at same time now.

now i got another problem. its the printer. vmware recognizes it, all the drivers are installed, i went to usb and enabled my brother printer. but when i press print. vmware freezes and then reboots. im not sure whuts wrong. any suggestions? nothing will print from vmware
