here is what my interaces files and resolv.conf look like


# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0

# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation
# (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255


reslov.conf


nameserver 62.30.112.39
nameserver 194.117.134.19

Is this machine directly on the internet? If it is then remove

network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255

if not, then something is weird because you got this ip 77.101.58.22

thanks for post and pm lando

I did as suggested

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255

but when restarting network this was the out put



debian:/etc/network# /etc/init.d/networking restart
Reconfiguring network interfaces...SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Failed to bring up eth1.
done.

so i changed eth1 to eth0
and got this reply

debian:/etc/network# /etc/init.d/networking restart
Reconfiguring network interfaces...Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.
done.

Why did you use eth1 when you only have eth0?

You can install VMware Server using your original working /etc/network/interfaces file.

Thanks for your post falko.

I have used my original /etc/network/interfaces file

On page 2 of the howto
http://www.howtoforge.com/debian_etc...erver_howto_p2

it says:

The VMware Management interface is now installed on your system.
You will now be able to login the the VMware management interface with the URL:
https://192.168.0.100:8333/
To login use the username root and the password of your root system user

what would be the url in my case?

run ifconfig in the shell and there you'll see your ip.

Use th ip you see there to connect to with the same port as the howto say's
