C H A P T E R 4 Creating a New Virtual Machine
The Scripts tab lets you enable, disable and run scripts that are associated with the
Suspend, Resume, Power On and Power Off buttons.
Windows hosts: If the virtual machine is configured to use DHCP, the script executed
when suspending a virtual machine releases the IP address of the virtual machine. The
script executed when resuming a virtual machine renews the IP address of the virtual
machine.
Linux hosts: The script executed when suspending a virtual machine stops
networking for the virtual machine. The script executed when resuming a virtual
machine starts networking for the virtual machine.
To run one of these scripts at some other time, select the script you want from the
drop-down menu, then click Run Now.
To disable all scripts, deselect Use Scripts.
Note: Scripts cannot be run in Windows 95, NetWare and FreeBSD guest operating
systems.
Note: Scripts in Windows NT and Windows Me guest operating systems do not
release and renew the IP address.
The Shared Folders tab provides information on where to find your shared folders.
For more information on shared folders, see Using Shared Folders on page 104.
