Are you using bridged networking? Your VMs need to have IPs in the same
network as the host.

<br>
I have a physical vista 32bit machine which runs SqueezeCenter
(with<br>
the xAP plugin) and SageTV.<br>
<br>
This machine is also a VMware host running Server 1.0.8 , with a<br>
couple of 2003 server VMware guests, one of which runs HS2.<br>
<br>
The problem is that although the host machine is sending
SqueezeCenter<br>
xAP broadcasts, I cannot see these messages on the Homeseer guest,
or<br>
indeed any of the other VMs on that box.<br>
<br>
I know the host is transmitting them, because they show up when<br>
running xFX message viewer on the host machine itself, and also from
a<br>
laptop elsewhere on the LAN, as well as VM guests running on the
laptop.<br>
<br>
Messages are visible between the 2 vm guests, just not between
host<br>
and guests.<br>
<br>
I am assuming that either Vista or VMware is not forwarding on
the<br>
broadcast traffic to the guests when it originates from the host.<br>
<br>
I could move SqueezeCenter to a VM, or move HS to the host, but
don't<br>
want to if there is another way around this problem? Any ideas?<br>
<br>
I am testing using xFX in hub mode on all machines.<br>
<br>
There is a single NIC on the host, and ALL vmware virtual network<br>
interfaces have been removed, so I don't think it is a binding
problem.<br>
<br>
Sending xAP control messages from the HS2 VM does work fine -
these<br>
are received by SqueezeCenter on the host. When the doorbell is<br>
pressed, all the Squeezeboxes now switch on or interrupt the
playlist<br>
and play a doorbell noise...<br>
<br>
