NAT "should work", but obviously doesn't for you for some reason. This is unfortunately a VMware/Windows problem, so there isn't much I can suggest. I'm glad bridged works for you. > The !ifconfig showed I had a ip address of > 127.0.0.1 which clearly did not work. Yes, that means that you *only* had the "localhost" network, not the one that you should get via NAT. > I am still suprised that the command line version of sage graphics > commands don't work. Thanks for your help. Mike It is a command line in a virtual machine. It tried to "pop up" the graphics in the virtual machine, which can't work, since the virtual machine doesn't have any graphical user interface installed. I'm probably going to release a vmware image soon that has a graphical interface installed into it, but still need to work on making the vmware image use less disk space. Anyway, sorry for all this trouble. There is work going on to have a native version of Sage for windows that doesn't require vmware at all, but that isn't here yet. -- William > > On Nov 2, 4:08 pm, "William Stein" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> On Sun, Nov 2, 2008 at 2:37 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> > William, Sorry having problems first I can't seem to cut and past >> > from VMware to windows >> >> > The screen looks like. >> >> > Welcome to Sage:http://www.sagemath.org >> >> > Type one of the following. >> >> > notebook -- start the Sage notebook server >> > off -- turn this machine off >> > manage --- ect >> > sage -- run the sage command line >> >> > sage login: >> >> > If I type "notebook" it just reprints the above message.
