    sad cannot open virtual machine

    I cannot run my virtual machine on my WM Ware Server 2.0 (beta). It let me log in but as soon as I open the console I get the following error message :

    Error opening the Remote virtual machine <netbios_name>\8333\416
    The host name could not be resolved

    Replacing the netbios name with the localhost would solve the problem but I believe it then create network problem when I work on my consoles.

    The vmware image was working fine on the previous version of the product, v 1.0.5.

    I presume you have added to the host file

    127.0.0.1 yourcomputername

    Also add your network IP address to the host file, whatever it maybe, you need to set a static IP address on the network interface card

    192.168.x.x yourcomputername

    when you launch console it tries to resolve the computer name to the network interface

    Hope this helps
