For example:
On PC hardware with Vmware Server(free edition), if I hard power down the host and guests are running, I have lost network config. Although this has happened on occasion, it's not consistent. Using Gnome to start VMware give me nothing back(gui-wise), so I go to command line and issue a 'vmware' command to get the program running.
This is where I get the message that my config isn't good, or complete, something to that effect, and to run the config script we mentioned earlier.
I am not sure what the OSX way of doing this is, so I would guess to look for Fusion specific answer for this issue.

Subject: virtual machines not on the net
I'm sure there are some VMware experts out there.
I'm running VMware Fusion Beta on my Macbook Pro. I
have three virtual machines: Ubuntu 7.04, openSUSE
10.2, and Windows XP, all working fine, or they were.
Yesterday something the external drive on my iMac
(which mostly sits idle) briefly went south for some
unknown reason. I had stuff shared off that system,
e.g., my iTunes library and the main disk drive, so
this caused correspondingly bogus behavior on my MBP,
noticed at first within two of my virtual machines.
Eventually the only thing I could do was to kill VMware
from a command line, since it became inoperable. Things
remained sluggish until I finally realized that the
real culprit was (evidently) the iMac, which I was only
able to recover by pulling the plug out of the socket.
After that, I brought up all three virtual machines two
or three times, but have been unable to get a network
connection on any of them.
On one VM (Ubuntu), ifup keeps fetching me addresses
like 169.254.2.158 rather than a 192.168.N.N. On the
SUSE VM it tells me that DHCP is running in the
background looking for leases, but never finds one.
Windows is no better, but I know almost nothing about
Windows or how to fix it. In any case, I don't believe
that the VMs themselves are the problem, but that
VMware itself is confused. I've tinkered with the
Settings to no avail.
Any ideas where to go from here? All of my machines are
useless to me in that condition. My real machines are
all fine.
