VMware Server 2.0 beta

- If you get this:
The network bridge on device /dev/vmnet0 is temporarily down because the bridged Ethernet interface is down. The virtual machine may not be able to communicate with the host or with other machines on your network.
- Check to make sure your VMware bridged network is connected to the correct NIC.
- If it is you can try this:

Yeah I found the problem, for some reason /dev/vmnet0 refuses to go into bridged mode.. but /dev/vmnet2 will do it just fine.. :-) -- Ubuntu Hoary 5.04 Our OS who art in CPU, LINUX be thy name. Thy programs run, thy syscalls done, In kernel as it is in user!

- If you can not connect to the host running VM server 2.0 beta, check to make sure the correct port was used when running vmware-config.pl. In the above case, the scripted defaulted to port 904, when it should have used 902. If this is the case, simply recompile and enter the correct port number.
Please specify a port for remote console connections to use [904]
