Correct, it is a limitation of the vmware player not the FSL vmware "appliance". > I guess the solution is to purchase the full WMware workstation. That should work. > .. or SGE? That seems like a painful way to make things happen, unless of course you happen to enjoy beating your head against brick walls. You would need 2 vmware player instances with a local bridged or NAT network set up in such a way that they can all see each other. You would then have to add NFS and the likes to your vmware player machines and get a bunch of other things to work. I would suspect that by the time you have purchased more RAM, bought Vmware workstation, fiddled, etc you would have been better off to just buy a "real" linux/ubuntu machine in the first place. Either that or at this stage given that you seem to be using (and liking) the ubuntu virtual machine I would take the next step towards nirvana and have a hack with wubi: http://wubi-installer.org/ Wubi is essentially a point and click windows thingo that will install ubuntu (for real) for you on your machine. -- Andrew Janke ([log in to unmask] || http://a.janke.googlepages.com/) Canberra->Australia +61 (402) 700 883
