One absolutely definitely does *not* need to be online in order to use Sage-vmware. There must be something messed up about your Microsoft Windows system configuration. The only thing I can think to suggest is playing with the networking setting of vmware player, and possibly looking at the vmware forums. If that doesn't work, it might be that you'll have to wait until we create a full native version of Sage for windows before using Sage. -- William Stein Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
