Which VMWare program are you using? There are some pretty big differences between the Player/Workstation/Server family and the ESX(i)/vSphere family of products. ESX you can pretty much write that idea off unless you have a newer system that supports Intel's VT-d (or AMD's equivalent). Player is a bit different if it's a usb device as you can attach to the guest a required. Assuming Player, are you *absolutely sure* that you connected the USB device to the guest per VMware's procedures? If yes, what's the output of "lsusb"? We need to know *if* it's being seen by the guest at all to begin with. -- Drew "Nothing in life is to be feared.
