[ros-dev] VMWare 5.0 Networking issues...

[Richard Campbell]

Currently when i try to use networking with VMWare 5.0 i notice the 
adapter (which doesn't seem to have a name in IPConfig) has a loopback 
address (127.0.0.1) but no other address.  Trying to renew results in a 
function not supported message.  If i try to set a static IP then 
ipconfig fails with a GetAdapterInfo() error.  I cannot figure out what 
i am doing wrong, i tried both the WinNT and win2k drivers.  Any idea as 
to how to get networking running with VMWare 5?
