Just an update on my previous post: The bridging option probably didn't work because I have two network cards, and they were already bridged under Windows. Also, I had to install vmware tools again after up[censored] my kernel.

I'm running Fedora 3 (guest) on Windows XP (host) using VMWare 5. I installed the tar.gz file within a terminal under X. Surprisingly, it installed properly (note: it wouldn't allow me to do this in VMWare 4.5.2). I then "ejected" the virtual CDROM containing VMWare Tools and turned OFF the VM install in the upper menu. Rebooted. Sure enough, when Fedora 3 rebooted, the VMWare Tools kicked in. Also, my networking wouldn't work under Bridged, but works fine under NAT. Configure NAT before starting up the guest OS.
