We are experiencing the same problem using an ubuntu 7.04 amd64 vmware- server (commercial source package) and a WinXP SP2 vmware guest. We're using bridged networking.
The vmware guest is able to establish TCP connection to any host in the world, except to the own vmware host. The vmware host is running a tomcat5.5 with a deployed webapp, which may be correctly reached from all the clients in our subnet except fro m the vmware client . Trying to access the web app from within the WinXP client results in TCP/IP retransmits and checksum errors according to the attched sniff from wireshark. 192.168.17.101 ... unbuntu server. 192.169.17.201 ... WinXP vmware client. Nevertheless, the client may reach the server using 'ping 192.168.17.101' and vice versa, so the problem suspectedly is related to TCP connections and not to packet-based protocols like ICMP or UDP. The same problem ocurrs for connects to samba running on the vmware host, thus making it impossible to share server directories from within the vmware client. ** Attachment added: "A sniff from an unsuccessful connect to the server's webapp." http://librarian.launchpad.net/7626796/vmware-server-bridged-tcp-error.pcap -- vmware-server : guest can't access server and vis-versa https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112702 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
