Um, I suggest using 10 network since it is the official Private us address space. It seems that 192 is not reserved anymore. I found this out when I ran into a 67 network computer on the net and found out my firewall was blocking it since it was supporse to be reserved. You can get the newest

You don't HAVE to get the new version. There has been TONS of info on this problem on this very list. Go to www.mail-archive.com and search this and other mandrakes lists. In fact, there are all the patches you need for the thing to work on the freely available vmware news groups (go to vmware

Well, if it has the Cpia chipset or a clone of the OLD logitech quickcam, it is supported by the kernel and there are many progs. You might also try the v4l2 people, as they might be working on it if its not one those chipsets. I tried searching for the webcam, but can't seem to be able to get

The webcam is supported well, but not out of the box. The OV7610 and OV511 chipset might be in the latest kernel, but I have not checked. Either way, the website you want is http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/ . They should have everything you want. Good luck.

I appologize. I do not like VIA, but the generalization I made was wrong and made after a long and aweful dealings with the two different motherboards I got with the VIA chipsets. I lost my objectivity and people should see my comments in the light. On Thu, 26 Apr 2001, Walter Luffman wrote:

I know. I am talking about AMD + VIA. I must admint though, the bad experience with their AMD chipsets makes me not want to buy VIA at all. On Wed, 25 Apr 2001, Carlos [iso-8859-1] Arigós wrote: El Mié 25 Abr 2001 20:28, escribiste: VIA is a death trap. Problem after problem after

I guess I am just sick of VIA and maybe they are not quite a death trap. However, they always have problems. For example, my Geforce2 works crappy with the chipset (blurry at any good resolution/refresh rate on a 19 inch). The problem is well known and nvidia and via blame each other and will

Sorry, I forgot a few points. The patch is for the older kernels that do not already have patch in there. All newer 2.4 kernels and 2.2 kernels should have it. In that case, its just turning it on in the config to compile it in the kernel. On Wed, 11 Apr 2001, Nima S. Panahi wrote: Well

Well, reading of UDF is an experimental addition to the new 2.4 kernels and 2.2 kernels. Look at sourceforge.net for the patches. You can then compile in the support for it. The writting in UDF is not supported and will not be in near future. Good luck. On Wed, 11 Apr 2001, Mcintosh, Duncan

Hi, Well, you have to be more specific about "accessing" a cdrw-drive. Do you want to be able to burn cd's? If that is the case, then you are out of luck as far as I know, because VMware does not support that yet. If not, then in you vmware configuration, you point your CDROM to /dev/scd0
