VMware stores its configuration files in /etc/vmware/ I was able to force vmware to display this message by putting a file `not_configured' in that directory. Removing it brought the usual behavior back (i.e. it was working again). My next guess would be to look for file `not_configured' in the vmware config directory and remove it. As I said, in my case vmware stores it's config stuff in /etc/vmware (it is itself a symbolic link). $ ls -l /etc/vmware/ total 1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 344 Oct 20 02:52 config lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 21 Oct 19 12:17 vmware -> /usr/local/etc/vmware If you don't have the file `config', here are contents of mine. If you use it, make sure the directories are valid. $ cat /etc/vmware/config vmware.fullpath = "/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware" wizard.fullpath = "/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-wizard" dhcpd.fullpath = "/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmnet-dhcpd" loop.fullpath = ""/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-loop" libdir = "/usr/local/lib/vmware/lib" vmnet1.HostOnlyAddress = "192.168.1.1" vmnet1.HostOnlyNetMask = "255.255.255.0" I hope this helps. -- ,oPq J --- Krzysztof Parzyszek <hektor@iname.com> 10/15/2000 1:29am --- 7 `8oP' --- Abandon the search for Truth; settle for a good fantasy. --- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
