further VMWoes

[dogbert at clue4all.net (Brian Conway)]

You'll have to forgive my continued questioning for help with this
program.  I think anyone that's dealt with it can agree the both the
documentation and the online help are a little bit lacking in terms of
the more involved questions. I have a couple of questions that hopefully
someone will be able to help me out with.

1.) I installed a guest OS using vmware fine (nt4), but when I go to
power on the virtual machine, I get a message saying /dev/rtc is in use
(some form of resolution timer?).  This is causing some massive slowdown
when I try to get things going under the virtual OS (slow mouse, response,
etc).  I don't know of anything that would be tieing this up. The
machine is decent enough, a K6-300 with 96mb memory, and my vid card is a
Matrox Millenium II 8mb.  I am at a loss for what /dev/rtc is doing (other
than what the error message gives me).  Any ideas on this or how to fix
it?

2.)  I have bridged networking set up.  VMWare loads up the IP address
and netmask fine in vmnet and also under the guest OS, but the broadcast
is set to 10.255.255.255 instead of 10.0.0.255 which I want.  Nowhere in
/etc/vmware or /etc/sysconfig (rh6) can I find a setting for broadcast...
only IP and netmask.  Help?

Thanks in advance.
