Hi,
I am getting lot of duplicate packets when i ping to an IP (router, host system or an internet server) from my guest OS.
Any pointers with this regard would be greatly helpful.
I have the following configuration:
VMware Workstation 6.0.0 build-45731
Host OS: Windows XP SP2 (32bit)
Guest OS: Fedora Core 6 - 32bit (Zod - Kernel ver: 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6)
I have bridged VMnet0 to the 'Wireless Connection' on the Host OS.
