This may seem like a simple request so please go easy on me, I am new to all this :smileysilly:. I just installed VMware Server 2.0.2 build-203138 on Centos 5.5 i368 server successfully. I went though all the steps to enable networking, configured the NAT and also ports to run a standard and secure VMware Server. My question: How do I start the VM? Is it web based? Do I start it in a shell with commands? I can't find any information explaining the very basics and it's quite frustrating to say the least.
I started reading the "Guest Operating Installation Guide", 94 pages ... blah ! In the instructions for CentOs 5, before installing the guest OS it states.... "Power on the virtual machine", but I can't find any information on how to do that. Can anyone help ? I have two ports that I already configured, how do I use them? Thanks !

VMware server has a web-based console. Can you access https://vmwareserver.yourdomain.com:8333/ ?
