You need a username and password. Your instructor gave them out in class, and they are written on the chalkboard in S214.
Download these two files:
Using DVDs
If you are using the old DVDs instead of downloading the files, use these instructions.
If you are using a Mac, I recommend The Unarchiver.
In the VMs-S214 window, right-click the empty space and click New, Folder. Name the folder "YOUR NAME VMs" replacing YOUR NAME with your own name.
DO NOT PUT VIRTUAL MACHINES ON THE C: DRIVE IN S214. They fill the drive and make the machine unusable, and will be deleted.
Repeat this process for the other .7z file.
DO NOT PUT VIRTUAL MACHINES ON THE C: DRIVES IN S214! They fill the drive and make the machines stop working. Virtual machines left on the desktop, Documents folder, or other C: drive locations may be deleted at any time, as needed to keep the machines working.
In the VMware Player window, click the green "Play virtual machine" button.
VMware Player will pop up several dialog boxes, asking whether this machine was moved or copied, telling you details about the processor, etc. Just accept the default choice for all those boxes.
Troubleshooting
If you see the message shown below, you need to update VMware Player.
To log in, you need to send a Ctrl+Alt+Delete to the virtual machine. On a Windows host, you can usually press Ctrl+Alt+Insert to do that. If that doesn't work, hunt through the VMware menus to send a Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
Log in as Administrator with a password of P@ssw0rd
When the server starts, it opens some windows by default. Close all windows.

Troubleshooting a VMware Network Connection
- RESTART: Restart the virtual machine
- USE DHCP: In the virtual machine, click Start. In the Search box, type CONTROL NETCONNECTIONS and press Enter. Right-click "Local Area Connection" and click Properties. Double-click "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and make sure both the "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically" buttons are selected. Click OK. Click OK.
- REPAIR THE CONNECTION: In the virtual machine, click Start, Control Panel, Network Connections. Right-click "Local Area Connection" and click Repair.
- VMWARE BRIDGE PROTOCOL: In the Host machine, click Start and type "NETWORK CONNECTIONS" into the Search box. In the results, click "View network connections". Right-click "Local Area Connection" and click Properties. Make sure the "VMware Bridge Protocol" item is checked. Click OK.
- MAKE A NEW VIRTUAL MACHINE: When all these actions fail, which is very common, you need to discard the virtual machine and extract a fresh one from the original .7z file.
In the Command Prompt screen, type in IPCONFIG and press the Enter key.
Your IP address apears, as shown below.
You have now completed the first part of Project 1. To prove it, you need to capture an image of the screen and email it to me.

On the host machine, not the virtual machine, click Start.
Type mspaint into the Search box and press the Enter key.
Click in the untitled - Paint window, and press Ctrl+V on the keyboard. The desktop appears in the Paint window.
In the upper left corner of the "untitled - Paint" window, click the little blue square icon (it looks like a floppy disk, something people used to use long ago--you might never have seen one).
Save the document with the filename "YOUR NAME Proj 1a", replacing "YOUR NAME" with your real name.
If you don't see a user named "root", click Other....

Make sure both machines are in Bridged networking mode! The most common problem students have is incorrect networking modes. Unless otherwise specified, make sure all virtual machines you use in this class are in Bridged networking mode.
Email the images to me as an attachments to an e-mail message. Send it to: cnit.121@gmail.com with a subject line of "Proj 1 From YOUR NAME", replacing "YOUR NAME" with your real name.
Send a Cc to yourself.
Suspend freezes your VM in its current state. This is usually the best choice.
Power Off is only for emergencies, when the guest operating system has crashed. It's the equivalent of pulling out the power plug on a real computer.
Click Suspend.
