Hi there,
I'm talking about a Windows XP Home system, with VMWare Server 1.0.1-29996, on which VMWare used to work and now does not. I have already tried "Repairing" the installation through the installer with no success.
When trying to connect to the VMWare server through the server console I get this message:
"There was a problem connecting: Cannot connect to host localhost: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. "
Sure enough, when looking at my services, VMWare's NAT, DHCP and virtual mount services are running, but Authorization and Registration (which depends on Auth) are not. When attempting to start Authorization, I get the service-specific error code 6000004. Starting of Registration also fails due to the dependency. The system logs don't contain any more information than the error code.
So, any ideas what this error code means and how to get rid of it?
Thanks in advance,
SL
PS: I realize the author of this thread seemed to be experiencing the same problem.
