Running two clones simultaneously = no access to host network shares on 2nd insance

Dear All,

 

I succesfully have cloned one instance of VmWare player by making a copy of its folder, and renamed the machine.

Then I chose to have copied - as opposed to moved - the virtual machine, and everything goes well.

Except for one thing: Nomatter in which order I´ll run the two machines, the 2nd one fails to see my network shares on the host machine. It can see the host machine name on the network, but will have no access to the shares. So obviously, the two clones share something which identifies them to the host, which is unique and only allowed by one client at a time.

So I checked the Mac address, but this one is unique on the two machines. However, the "transport name" is the same. Will I need to change the transport name in the registry on one of the two machines to solve my problem?

 

One more thing - not sure if I´ll need to open a separate thread for this: My Logitech Fusion webcam is only showing as an exclamation mark under unknown devices. Any fix for this?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

 

 

Best Regards

 

Jazzl
