VMWare Server Console allows you to connect to a VMWare Server virtual machine running either on your local machine or a remote machine. The remote machine might be on your local network or located somewhere on the Internet. This post looks at how to deal with the error message in the VMWare Server Console “unable [...]
I currently run VMWare Workstation on my desktop computer, using the Linux host operating system to mainly just run the VMWare sessions; I run two main desktop environments (Linux and Windows XP) and one development webserver (CentOS) in Virtual Machines.
