I always just install the standard client.
Any luck on finding a freeware version for this? I cant even tell the bandwidth being used and could use 1 or 2 more but I need one of these I can use to do so.
No luck as yet. But I have had another idea. AS far as Im aware there are Linux OSes out there that have their own Virtual machine of sorts built in to the OS (the name eludes me at the moment). If this is the case then systems could be setup without the need to worry about licences etc.
Has anyone had anyluck running a linux client at all ?
Try setting up a windows XP install with fast user switching enabled and just add users with a client running on each ?
so leaver user1 logged in and running, switch to user2 etc..

user switching is the same technology, it's unlikely to work as well then.
Did you put the terminal services in install mode and create a separate directory for each instance? As well you need to follow Suns directions for installing Java on a terminal server,
Because any attempt by java to share the same temps will give you errors.....
No I didnt go that far to be honest with the java. I did run in install mode and tried different directories though.
This was with Windows 2000 and not 2003 though.
Can u give a download link? I think we install the workstation version, right?
with an XP pro VM, how do I get it the VM to have internet access. I've been trying to figure it out, but I can't.
Use bridged networking in Vmware. Then it should have an IP address on your local network. If not set it up manually and you should be fine.
I set it up as a bridged connection, and it has it's own IP address, but it can't connect to the internet.
I used NAT, and it seems to work just fine...
i used nat too, it causes slightly higher overheads but its not that bad even with 8 vms
TWB what version of VMware are you using in those SS i gotta know
Version 5.0 Vmware Workstation.
Ok, VMs just aren't working for me. I had three of them working last night, and this morning, none of them can connect to the internet. I guess I'll just have to settle for my three or so computers just using one client each. Grrr
Out of interest have u tried changing them from bridged to NAT, or vice versa and manually set the IP. This can be done quite easily once the VM is powered off.

How would I know what IP to set it to?
Do you know your internal range ? Do you have a router ?
Set the connection to bridged if you have a router, and make the default gateway and DNS the router IP. Then just assign a static ip in that particular range.
IF your using a modem try using NAT and then using DHCP and Vmware should sort it.
Lets start here and go from there, we will crack this VM issue !
Well, I think I might be getting it set up correctly. We will find out shortly.
How much of a performance hit you reckon I'd get switching from 2VM's running 256mb to 4VM's running 128mb? In theory the only difference is the amount of ram used, so the host machine wouldnt hurt. Would XP be able to cope ok running only 128mb of ram though? Would dimes itself suffer?
You would have more disk swapping, but I dont think that Dimes would suffer. XP will run, but disbale as many services as you can.
4 cloned VM's up and running (well 2 are, just installing dimes on the other 2 now) so fingers crossed production should increase without hurting either this net connection or the host pc :D
Great, now I have to add some more.. ;)Quote:
