Hi everybody, i am new to this board and first of all i want to say "Thank You" for the incredible amount of information i found here about Openstep, which is an almost dead (not in our hearts ;-) ) operative system.

I need to run this fantastic piece of software on vmware and i managed to get everything work but the network.


Since almost every discussion i found about this topic is related to VMware Fusion and Workstation, is there someone who is running Openstep/Nextstep, with a working network connection , on VMware Player?

If yes how did u configured stuff like hostmanager and config files?

I spent the whole day reading VMWare Player logs....

PS: due to budget, we can't just buy VMware fusion atm, but we are able to switch to virtualbox if there is a working solution there..

Thank you so much for reading this post :)

Hi mattia,

technically this should be possible. I remember that there was some site where you could configure your ini files for vmware player. (maybe easyVMX?)

I'm running NS3.3 under VMware, so it shouldn't be a problem to get this running.

If you run into problems, I could look up the settings for my vmware.

Good luck!
