I am trying to install vmware in Centos 4.4 ( RHEL clone )
I used the rpm to install
I ran /usr/sbin/vmware-config.pl
I enabled one of each type of interface bridged,nat and host only
nat and host only work.
however since this is for a server application bridged is the only usable connection for me which I cannot get working.
My machine has 1 network interface eth0
which has multiple virtual ip's assigned to it.
I have a static ip setup there is no dhcp server for me to get a ip address from.
here is the results of /sbin/ifconfig
\[root@www etc]# /sbin/ifconfig

the bridged connection should be vmnet0 but it does not show.
when I try to use a bridged connection I get a error saying it is disabled.
and
/sbin/ifconfig vmnet0 up
vmnet0: unknown interface: No such device
anyone have any ideas what I should try?
