Sounds like it is indeed set up correctly. If you want the VM to be a "separate entity" on the network, bridged networking is the way to go. The reason that redhat comes up with an AMD network card is because VMware emulates that AMD card in its virtual machine. You should be able to the network in redhat to use either DHCP or static (depending on your network environment) and it should work fine... -Erik Sadanapalli, Pradeep Kumar (MED, TCS) wrote: > Hi, > I am running VMWorkstation 4 on my Dell Latitude C610 laptop. > The host OS is Windows 2000.
