Hi,

I've just downloaded the latest and greatest version of VMware Server and I had a few questions about it. I am running just a test system, it's an Ubuntu system. I've got everything working but, I had some questions about how VMware does the networking. I mean I have it sharing the IP of my Host machine but... I went to the network card on my VM and it was not configured for anything. I thought that it would at least fill in the gaps. Like have the same info or something like my host PC.

I am very new to VMware and a bit to networking so detail would help a lot :o). I wanted to know because I would like to use this VMware box to connect to some shares we have out on our servers (Windows based). Also just to further my knowledge in the stuff to. I tried to connect to a share in VMware and it doesn't work. If someone could possibly give me a NOOB link to VMware netoworking or ubuntu then please do so.I appreciate your guy's help. Thanks again.
