  • 1.  Virtual Network Editor: Installing under Linux

    Posted May 09, 2016 08:29 PM

    Hallo Everyone,

    I am current trying to set up a Bridged Network from a host PC (Lubuntu 16.10) to a linux (fedora) client and vmnet0 seems to be missing.

    During my googling I have found that the VM-Ware tool "Virtual Network Editor" is recommended for fixing this problem.

    Vmware say that it is available here: /usr/sbin/vmware-netcfg ... but on my installation it isn't there (although vmware-player installed fine and runs well).

    However, the install files for vmware-netcfg seem to have found their way into the directory: /etc/vmware-installer.

    So what I need to know is hope to get the Virtual Network Editor installed, open and running? Can I force an install? Or get it via Synaptic (although I couldn't seem to find it there)

    Does anyone have any tips for me? Any information would be gratefully received.

    Many thanks,

    Alan Searle

    PS: And generally any tips or links to good HOWTOs on setting up Bridged Networking to a VMWare client would also be a great help.

    I found it here ...

    sudo /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg

    Relief  :-)
