VM server host problem
I have VM server installed on my Vista computer. All of a sudden when I click on VM server it asks for Host Name, User and password. It must of been doing that automatically becuase I never needed to input this before. I had no idea what the host name is. How do I find out what to put so it starts XP pro through VM server.
Help. Thanks.

It it does insist on a username and password you should the credentials of a member of the local Administrators group.

It does not give me the option to pick Local Host. See the picture.

Can you not just type it in. You could also try the IP address of your PC.

It won't let me even push the OK button until I put a user and password but I didn't even give it a user and password.

Any other thoughts on this before I close the question? I still have not been able to get vm server to work. It used to work and then all of a sudden I couldn't log in. It now asks for a user and password but I never created one in the first place.
Type localhost as the host and use try to login with your local administrator credentials.
Have you tried upgrading to VMware Server 1.0.6?

I tried that and I get this "There was a problem connecting: Cannot connect to host localhost: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it"
I will try upgrading.
