Has any one tried to mount on the simualtor? I installed 7.1 on Suse 8.0, not connected to network.

See doc/faq/simulator_access_from_same_host.htm:

| You can only access the simulator from the same host if you have 2 network | cards in your Linux machine that are connected to the same subnet. This is due | to the way the simulator interacts with the network stack of the Linux host. | VMware makes this easy as you can just add another virtual adapter into the | same virtual switch and configure it in Linux.
