Thanks for the replies, no problem connecting to the management address and logging on. I tried to define some vlans and added the interfaces to them, but still uninitialized and no mac. Should not be any network issues with the networks either.
(Host only interface /24) mgmt 192.168.1.100
(Host only interface /24)"Int" vlan untagged interface 1.1 added self ip 192.168.2.100
(Host only interface /24)"Ext" vlan untagged interface 1.2 added self ip 192.168.3.100
However, as a recap I experimented mostly on a linux with Vbox and the VmWorkstation was on a win7. I'll try it on a XP with VmWorkstation as soon as I can.
