VMPlayer breaks Vista DNS connection!
Long ago I used a trial version of VMWare to make a couple of virtual
machines. I didn't have enough memory to run them, however, and lost interest. I recently upgraded to 8 Gb of RAM, however, and am taking a new interest in VMWare. One of the virtual machines I created was XP. Now when I run that machine in VMPlayer everything works fine except the networking. The ethernet shows connected as bridge. No network icon shows up in the XP taskbar, however. No browser works. I even put in known DNS ips in the TCP/IP properties for the virtual NICs. Even VPN won't connect, however, using an ip number. Nothing will connect--even though there is supposed to be an active connection. I'm running WMPlayer on Vista 32 and the NIC is an Intel Gigabit 82566DM. Actually--it's much worse than this!!! When I run the xp virtual machine in Vista, not only doesn't the virtual machine find the DNS servers, after I've run it Vista no longer can find DNS servers even though everything looks perfect in TCP/IP properties setup (DNS ips still there). I tried at length yesterday afternoon to figure out what was going on here but with no luck and wound up reloading the partition from my Acronis image. Why is VMPlayer breaking Vista's access to DNS (IE specifically says it can't find the DNS but givers the correct ip--so it's definitely trying)! Any ideas?????
