Not really...you did say you are running an OBSD virtual machine right? Not sure how the leap to a fix for "linux" applies. Suggest that you establish a communications channel with the VMWare server admin to discuss the dynamics of your problem. You state you know only that VMWare Server version 1.0.3 on some "MS OS" is used to host the virtual machines. You need to know a little more than that in order to properly diagnose your problem; i.e.: - Specifically what MS OS, MS Server (version), XP Pro, VISTA...etc. is running on the host; and patch level. - What hardware is utilized, and are all relevant driver updates applied? - Virtual Machine configuration -- how is the VM configured to use the host resources? Memory, hardware, networking, etc. - Logs -- host and guest (Logging is enabled on the OBSD guest right?) Biggest thing, again, is communication with the VMWare server admin, and the consideration of all factors -- software and hardware in the pursuit of a possible solution.
