Hi Guys, I am running CentOs 5.5 kernel version 2.6.18 on Vmware but i cant seem to have the network work rather connect to my gateway.I have tried all i know If I enter this command as the superuser: service network restart I get this:RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument mii-tool brings back SIOCGMIIPHY on eth0 failed:operation not supported now, before anybody asks questions like did you reboot, yes I rebooted, yes I restarted the network, and yes, I've looked at the ifcfg-eth0 file, and everything looks correct. If anybody has run across this and has a *fix* for it, like a command or something, I thank you profusely in advance David Aliata

some NICs don't support mii probing, so that's not necessarily a problem. what NIC do you have? Is the driver module loaded (lsmod)? BR, S -- This message represents the official view of the voices in my head.

Under your VM network settings, your connection should be bridged if you're using your actual LAN's gateway... is it? On virtualbox, the default setting is NAT. On 19 November 2010 11:15, david aliata <aliatadavid@gmail.com> wrote:

Well, I am not conversant with VMWare, but when you click on your CentOS VM, there's likey to be a settings option. Under it's settings, you may have options for memory, CPU, starge, networking etc Just check to see what you have. On 19 November 2010 12:32, david aliata <aliatadavid@gmail.com> wrote:
