Starting VMware problem
On my new build i have got folding with the GPU going OK.
So i am now trying to get the Linux in VMware to start, I have downloaded the server and set my Bios to allow virtualisation but when i start the VM it asks me to name the host and not allow local host,If i enter my PC name in the host bar it then tells me that the PC is blocking it.
Can anyone shed some light on this please.

I can't get past the host screen to get into the settings?

Umm, you running a firewall? Shut that off first.

Re: Starting VMware problem
With the firewall off it's just the same.
I used standard setup.

Try using the custom setup and that will let you choose all the setting

Re: Starting VMware problem
Nope custom install doesn't work.
Why can nothing go smoothly for me?
I have decided the best thing is to carry on folding with what i have got now.
For the moment it is producing some good points for us.
If we find a solution to the problem then we can try again later.

Re: Starting VMware problem
Interesting........... the setup error does seem to indicate a security issue or firewall thing. I have not installed VMware Server - I am using VMWare workstation 6.5x and have not had any issues. What firewall are you using?

I closed all security down ( I'm not scared ) and went through the whole procedure again but the results were just the same.
