Hi Guys Thanks for the advice... but, its for a production company server, so i need to be running vmware-server, no options. I think tomorrow i will start a-fresh (install from scratch) and try again, failing that i will fall back to a previous release (ive had it working on 6.06,6.10,7.04 with no problems). The only thing is this is a brand new server, and 6.06 (which i wanted to install) doesn't support the NIC, and i thought it would be easier to just use a later version that try and install kernel patches and stuff to get the network working! I see from previous posts that a couple of people have got it working, so i must have just done something wrong :( -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
