After upgrading to SME 7.3 today, I cannot access my vmware server. The web management interface says it is running, but I can't see it on the network, or with the vmware server consol. I have tried running vmware-config.pl, but no help. I did a little digging on the vmware site, but didn't find anything.
Checking dhcpd log files, I can see where it is assigned an IP, and I can ping the IP of the virtual machine.
Any Ideas
Thanks
Bob
[edit]
I don't know if this makes any difference, but I am running openvpn bridge mode on this server. I also noticed that when I do and ifconfig I now have a
bond0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet addr:1.1.1.1 Bcast:1.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0

That I do not remember being there before

Don't know if the solution could be the same, but I also had the problem, I could not log in, but that was at a "pure" Centos host system. Default port did not work, I had to specify port 904 for logging in like this: 10.0.1.1:904
Anyhow, it is quite simple to do a yum install of nmap and to check the serveice and port like this: nmap localhost

Problem resolved.
I had 2 reltec nics, and when I did the upgrade to 7.3, somehow the wound up bound. I was in gateway/server mode. I removed one of the nics, and re-enabled the vis onboard nice, re-configgured, and now everything is great.

Thats a good idea, to only use one nic for the server only mode, as the nic no 2 can make things a bit messy.
I think the port 904 issue is just for the original Centos distro (because 902 is used for something else.)

It turns out the problem was not vmware. Vmware pointed to to problem. The real issue is dhcpd and openvpn :-?
I do not thing the binding of the nic should have happened though
