Console Error in VMware 2.0
Has anyone seen this error when trying to run the remote console using
vmware 2.0 and Firefox 3.6?
"Cannot access virtual machine console. The request timed out"
The online forums say it has something to do with the Add On in Firefox
3.6, but I've taken them all out and I still get the error. Using IE won't
work for me because I do everything on the box via VNC through port 22
(ssh). Any hints? I have tried Opera, but it doesn't work very well with
vmware.
Thanks.

I found using FF 3.5 works fine. I think I'm going to fall in and see if I
can help David get Virtual Box ready for prime time. While VMware Server
works okay, it's obvious they are not too concerned with addressing issues
like browser compatibility. Can't say I blame them; they are in the game to
make money, not save the world.
Thanks.

I'd give up trying to open the console within Firefox 3.6. It won't
work unless VMware updates VMware Server 2.x. This thread discusses
it:

You can try to downgrade to Firefox 3.5 and see if it works. You can
also try to run the vmware-vmrc executable directly as described in
