[OT] Problem with Centos52 and VMware?

[Joe Tseng]

Nothing unusual appears IIRC when I run ifconfig.  I am unable to ping anything on the network and I also ran "network restart" but to no avail.  So far only a full restart would make the problem go away.

I just realized I haven't looked at my logs; I'll check that out later.

Every so often I'd lose contact with it and when I go check it out at the console I see the message "eth0: promiscuous mode enabled."  The only thing on there that I've got running on that host is VMWare (w/add'l host only network) and sshd.  I don't recall this behavior occurring with Fedora or the old RHL as often if ever.  Has anyone seen this before and how do I solve this problem?  Thanks!
