where is com.vmware.fusion.netopt.plist stored please? for the enhancement?
one more thing i noticed thou, after quitting VMWare. checking on Activity Monitor. Two items remain on VMF3.1.3, VMWare Fusion Helper and VMware Fusion Start Menu process still remain standing. is that intentional?
Are those the bits and pieces that tell OSX where programs are? For example, receive an excel file via mac mail, click on it and W7 VM unpauses and opens it. Dead useful that sometimes if it is.
Interesting. I will try this tonight, thank you. Delicious'd!![]()
The initial solution was to reboot the mac - this involves shutting down the VMs etc. It's apparent that doing this multiple times a day is will make it impossible to get anything done, so the solution I found was to run:
Code:$ sudo /Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/boot.sh restart
which basically re-initialises the vm services and by proxy the nat services - now the VMs pick up the new nat settings and testing can continue. It's maybe a little heavy handed, but I needed something quick and dirty so that I could get on.
The best news is that you can run this script while the VMs are open and running, so it's really convenient.
Really impressed that Fusion was stable enough to do this. This software rocks.![]()

Hi psid, could you please confirm that this process works for the latest version of Mac OS, 10.7 Lion?
Sorry but I have not upgraded to Lion yet. I plan to do so in the next couple of weeks since I've been quite busy. Will then certainly try to get Fusion working again and post the results here.

No need to change anything mate. I got it up and running with Lion. Everything runs and shuts down when its the appropriate time.
Running Fusion 3.1.3 and Lion![]()
It's kinda weird! Seems that hekokimushi has the same problem with me when the vmnet kext is not loaded. Is there anybody using Lion and successfully applied the tweak?

Have done it several times (as VMware fusion had been updated). This time I copied and pasted from this forum. I don't think it could go wrong. However, I am trying to have "clean" install of Lion on my system. Will try it again and report back. Cheers!
Sorry for the late response.
I have installed a clean Lion with VMware Fusion 3.1.3. Do all those things and it WORKS!
Have no idea why it didn't work last time, when I have Lion upgraded from Snow Leopard.
Thanks psid for this greate mod!
Is this still viable for VMware 5 and 6?
