Sounds more like a configuration problem with the networkin choices that were set up. I have only recently started using VMWare and running on RH 6.2 and have win98 and winNT mounting Netware, SAMBA, and NT shares. I have spent a number of hours working in software development compiling projects, testing code, etc... and and thoroughly impressed. The best thing I've come along since sliced bread and VNC. The only shortcoming I have found is that I can't run one of my destractions (Risk (r)) due to the virtual vmware video driver (16 colors or 16bit, no 256 color) or . A minor inconvience considering what I gain in stability and simultaneously running multiple environments on one machine.

That's basically it, VMWare is much better if you really want to do more than just run some apps. Mine was a cost consideration and since I don't want to do anything but run some "legacy" applications it didn't matter much to me that it doesn't know about MS networking. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
