Vmware stopping internet access [solved]

Not sure if this belongs in Networking, Emulation of software but anyway....

 

I installed and configured vmware server on my machine and it has created two new network devices vmnet1 and vmnet2 however it also prevents me accessing the internet as it keeps overwriting my resolv.conf file on startup replacing my nameserver ip address with a different one.

 

The only way I can resolve this (ho ho) is to disconnect all network devices, manually amend resolv.conf and then restart the eth1 network device (the one I use for internet).

 

I googled around on this and found some stuff about Mandriva and vmware not playing nicely together, I also found a 'fix' with involved amending a vmware config file (can't remember the name at the moment but I will update later) to include vmnet* in a list of network device names.

 

Obviously this has not worked.

 

Has anyone any other ideas as to what is going wrong/how to fix it?

 

Thanks

Should I alter the file to include the nameserver addresses added by vmware before I do this? Or is this completely unnecessary since I have a working nameserver?

 

Thanks
