Vmfolding issue

[martin_metal_88]

Hey guys, after joining the team I try to up my PPD by folding via Vm. After following the step on the VM folding topic I have a little issue. My Vmfold tell's me this

Failed to download the client from Stanford's website:
HTTP://www.stanford.edu/group/pandeg...6.02-Linux.tgz

Please double check your gateway and DNS information
Gateway:
DNS servers: Localdomain 192.168.112.1

What the hell is that? after several time reseting my gateway I;m sure it is ok but seriously...I don't understand.

Ask for more.

I had a similar problem and had to mess with settings in the VMWare player. Click on the devices tab at the top and try changing the network adapter setting. This got things going for me.

Do you have more then one network adapter (or NIC). If you do, VMWare (or the image it runs) is rather stupid and will assign it an IP address on the "first available network" it detects. To fix this, i've found you need to disable the other network adapters (NICS or a vpn such as Hamachi), run VMWare, let it get the IP address from the network adapter (NIC) that actually has internet, then re-enable the other network adapters. This fixed my problem, however you'll have to do this every single time you load up VMWare.

Wat did you actually mean by NICS???I have try to disable in bios my second network card but I don't really see any other software as Hamachi that can be the cause. Nod32 maybe?

I have been getting these for the last week or so. I never got them before, and I have been using this since the spring. Until recently, I have never seen anybody else reporting them. I wonder if something has changed in the latest version of vmware?

I changed no settings. I just reset the vm machine, and it usually works for me the first time. You can reset the vm machine under 'troubleshooting'.

Nothing to do guys still not working. I think I find something interesting please second me. I am using bell internet and to get it working from a while I have to set manually my Preferred DNS server and my Alternate DNS server. If I let them to obtain DNS automatically internet wont work anymore. Can this be the problem?
