Asmodeus Dhoine Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 What is EXACT procedure and setting in osx and vmware? I've added ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000", built-in ethernet is green but no actual connection. Tried bridged/NAT/host-only. Also tried maxxuss driver, it just added PCI card (build-in was dead), green but not working. Help, anyone?

RDPetruska Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 What is EXACT procedure and setting in osx and vmware?I've added ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000", built-in ethernet is green but no actual connection. Tried bridged/NAT/host-only. Also tried maxxuss driver, it just added PCI card (build-in was dead), green but not working. Help, anyone? I've had success on 2 PCs now. I just followed the readme file in the rar image. The first, I set the virtual NIC to the E1000. It *did* work - however, the Ethernet MAC address was all 0's (verified it in my dhcp server's list of clients). Perhaps where you are has issues with an obviously bogus MAC address. The second, I left the virtual NIC alone (vlance), and the bootloader used the Maxxuss' driver built in to the JaS 10.4.7 image. I'm installing patches on that PC right now. I'm trying this in the Workstation 5.5.3 beta (build 33121), but it should work just fine with the public 5.5.2 release.

wallacrs Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 For the info of anyone else who had the all-zero MAC address problem in VMWare, I managed to fix it by adding a new ethernet adapter, and removing the original one. Everything worked fine in Bridged mode - OS X found the new adapter as a PCI addon card, with a valid MAC address. I'd also tried editing the .vmx file as per the VMWare documentation and setting ethernet0.address = "xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx" (a valid MAC address in the range specified in the VMWare help), and removing the "generated" address stuff. Unf, that didn't work, still had a junk address when OS X started up (as evidenced on my router's DHCP list!) Hope this helps someone, it's certainly a lot more useful with internet access!

Tried bridged/NAT/host-only. Also tried maxxuss driver, it just added PCI card (build-in was dead), green but not working. Help, anyone? I had this problem with DHCP under 10.4.8. Fixed it by assigning fixed TCP/IP address and entering DNS manually.

stormj Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 On my install (VMWare Server 1.0.3, FreeBSD, 512MB, 20G virtual drive, 1 net adapter, JaS 10.4.8 Intel, 1 CPU) running on a Core Duo centrino HP Pavillion dv8000 notebook running Vista32, Tiger has not detected any ethernet device unless I specify e1000. I seemed to have bridged networking at one point, but I'm not sure that it was also letting the host share. I have never been able to get NAT to work, nor have I been able to change the NAT settings... the "OK" button is always greyed out, regardless of whether a VM is running or even loaded.

~pcwiz Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 For me, the Maxxuss driver did not work so I did the ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000" and the ethernet immediately started working. I was using Bridged networking on the Mac OS X 10.4.8 JaS Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3 PPF1 + PPF2 ISO.

Cyberbyte Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I had a number of hurdles to jump to get the VM working, the final one being no network. Amazingly by adding the line ethernet0.virtualDev = “e1000” to the vmx config file worked first time – at home. Brought my laptop to work, and started my MAC VM is now assigning itself a 169.245 address. This is so frustrating, I can’t imagine why a different broadband connection would cause any problems? Oh, and now when try ‘sudo ifconfig en0 down’ and then try bringing it up again i.e. ‘sudo ifconfig en0 up’ the vm hangs.
