VM smp help

[xevious]

I tried following Xilikon's guide on here and after I started the folding.vmx file, i get this:

Go into VMware player preferences and check the networking option, it seems the VM could not connect. If you have it set to bridged, then set it to network address translation (NAT). Vice versa if you have NAT set though, then reboot the VM and try again.

 

[xevious]

The options are locked (faded out). I cant do anything

 

[fx9]

You must shutdown the VM first before modifying those options, once its off they will be unlocked.

Also are you connected via a switch? Which would explain why you can't see a DNS server.
