This sounds very much like unfortnately the sage-vmware image that we posted is completely broken. I check if this is the case tomorrow when I go to my office (actually, I will also check at home, which will take an hour or two). I recommend that you use http://sagenb.org until then or do the following: login: sage at the sage prompt type sage: !ifconfig In the output there should be a line that looks like this: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:29:ed:81:58 inet addr:192.168.243.129 Bcast:192.168.243.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 If not, then the problem is with your vmware player setup and windows. If there is such a line, do this: sage: notebook(address="192.168.243.129") where the number in quotes is after "inet addr". Then try using Sage via a browser from windows. -- William > My second point was that I can run the tutorial from the Sage command > line.
