Success. I think this is officially a viable alternative for running Scipy/Numpy/Matplotlib/IPython in Vista. I turned off my firewall on my host (XP) and I was able to browse the internet in Ubuntu. Andrew was right that I still couldn't ping, but I seem to have everything else. And with shared folders enabled I seem to have some default SMB stuff set up. I couldn't successfully browse the shares of my partitions (C$, E$, ...), but I did specifically share a folder (from windows) and editted a Python file in that folder from within VMware. The available shared folders showed up under Places > Network as I should have expected for Ubuntu SMB shares. Another of my students supposedly has everything working in Vista with no problems. I will have to check that out and report back. Ryan On 5/29/07, Andrew Straw <strawman@astraw.com> wrote:

Sorry, I should have mentioned that the student who got Numpy running in Vista said the key was to right click on the exe and choose "Run as Administrator". He said that was all there was to it (he also said the the Python-2.5 msi just installed with no problems). If anyone can confirm that this works, please let me know.

I can confirm that our python 2.4 numpy and scipy eggs (and probably matplotlib and others) work with Vista. I was using them for development last week. I haven't tested the Python 2.5 eggs yet, but will do so this week. You can find all of our python 2.4 eggs at http://code.enthought.com/enstaller/eggs bryce Ryan Krauss wrote:
