[one-users] Trying to run opennebula using VMWare on Windows

[Manish Sapariya]

I have made some more progress.

After I carefully mounted the VM_DIR using
CIFS option, I am able to start VM on
Windows VMWare server.

However the VM is not able to communicate to
the other machines on the network. It seems
to be getting the IP address, but not able
to ping other server.

Any clues?

Thanks and Regards,
Manish
