About a year and a half ago we went shopping for a bed. We went to the Sleepy’s in Deer Park and tried out a bunch of the beds. They had some computer where you lay on it and it recommends firmness, and we ended up getting a Kingsdown based partly on the recommendations of this computer (it was also a really comfy mattress). I forget the model of the bed but it had different firmness on my side and my wife’s, which seemed like a cool feature.

VMware Workstation 7 - virtual ethernet fails to start after changing vmnet8 subnet

Wed, 23 Feb 2011 10:29:22 +0000

After my recent wipe of my laptop, I reinstalled VMware Workstation and my Win XP VM was working fine. The one wrinkle I faced was that the subnet for the vmnet8 (NAT) vnic had changed from 192.168.250.0/24 to 173.16.132.0/24. The host machine had been 192.168.250.1 so rather than reconfiguring everything on the guest to point to a new IP for the host I figured it would be easier to change the subnet for vmnet8. I went into the Virtual Network Editor and just changed the subnet. Seemed to work correctly, but after doing a release/renew in Win XP I couldn’t get an IP.
