The installation of VMware Workstation 4.0.5 build-6030 for Linux completed successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any time by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall.pl".
Networking will allow your virtual machines to use a virtual network. There are primarily two types of networking available: bridged and host-only. A bridged network is a virtual network that is connected to an existing ethernet device. With a bridged network, your virtual machines will be able to communicate with other machines on the network to which the ethernet card is attached. A host-only network is a private network between your virtual machines and host. Virtual machines connected to a host-only network may only communicate directly with other virtual machines or the host. A virtual machine may be configured with more than one bridged or host-only network.
Virtual machines configured to use NAT networking are placed on a virtual network that is confined to this host. Virtual machines on this network can communicate with the network through the NAT process, with each other, and with the host.
虚拟专用网络上的虚拟机是通过NAT进程来和宿主机、其它虚拟机进行通信。
To setup NAT networking you need to select a network number that is normally unreachable from the host. We can automatically select this number for you, or you can specify a network number that you want.
The automatic selection process works by testing a series of Class C subnet numbers to see if they are reachable from the host. The first one that is unreachable is used. The subnet numbers are chosen from the private network numbers specified by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in RFC 1918 (http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc1918.txt).
Virtual machines residing on the NAT network will appear as the host when accessing the network. These virtual machines on the NAT network will not be accessible from outside the host machine. This means that it is OK to use the same number on different systems so long as you do not enable IP forwarding on the host.
To configure your system for host filesystem access, the program will install VMware's networking software to allow your virtual machines to use the network. It will also install a private Samba server to export your host's filesystem on a virtual network th
