vmware on vista

ukcolin

Hi i want to set up vmware server on my vista laptop to some some labs etc

But i am having problems with the set up.

Have any of you done this before and if so are there any good instructions on how to do this anywhere?

thanks

What kind of problems have you been having, is it connectivity between VM's or to the internet?

As far as I know, Vista is not supported as a host for VMWare server. You might need the Workstation version of VMWare. But some people claim to have it working for them.

Have a look at the following threads :

Post your problems and let's see what we can do about it!

Yea, please be more specific. I had it on a Vista desktop before, but I've since removed it for the Workstation 6.5 beta (you can't have both )

You might have better luck posting in the virtualization forum as well.

Hello!!!
You could try with Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, support most version of vista (except home edition)

Maybe you could find more info in the following link:
