vmware clone

If you clone a dapper machine (maybe other unices) in vmware workstation 5 you may find that you have no networking on reboot. It’s because the /etc/iftab file was copied over in the clone. Open that file and comment out the ‘eth0: mac_address_here’ line and reboot. Done.

    Nate, do you get any random ppl posters that have a point? I.e. ever considered going closed?

  2. Yeah, sometimes I get weird posts. I have thought about it, but once in a while a legit poster comes through on an old post…like if they find the site through google.
