VMWare

1.Enable promiscuous mode vmware
================================

If you want all users to be able to set the virtual Ethernet adapter (/dev/vmnet0 in our example) to promiscuous mode, run the following command on the host operating system as root:

# chmod a+rw /dev/vmnet*

 To grant selected other users read and write access to the VMnet device, you can create a new group, add the appropriate users to the group and grant that group read and write access to the appropriate device. You must make these changes on the host operating system as root (su -). For example, you can enter the following commands:

# chgrp (newgroup) /dev/vmnet0
# chmod g+rw /dev/vmnet0
