Hi all,   I have been trying to get this working in the past few days and tried almost everything I can but with no success. My laptop is a Surface Pro 3 on Windows 10.  I am using WMware Player 12 to run the Cloudera QuickStart 5.5 as a single node virtual machine.  In the Network Adapter settings of the VM player, I tried both Brigded, NAT and Custom.  I even used vmnetcfg.exe to add vmnet0.   My issue is the IP addresses of both the Manager Node and Worker Node 1 are 127.0.0.1 instead of the assigned IP address.  ifconfig and running socket.gethostby name revealed the following,   [cloudera@quickstart ~]$ ifconfig eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:29:AA:BC:4B inet addr:192.168.1.123 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:379 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:391 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:174070 (169.9 KiB) TX bytes:50633 (49.4 KiB) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:33255 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:33255 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:115884356 (110.5 MiB) TX bytes:115884356 (110.5 MiB)   [cloudera@quickstart ~]$ python -c "import socket; print socket.getfqdn(); print socket.gethostbyname(socket.getfqdn())" quickstart.cloudera 127.0.0.1   If I run the quickstart image in Virtual Box, I have no issues and the IP addresses are correctly assigned.  I prefer VMware because Virtual Box seemed to hangs alot when running the vm.   I am at my wits end and being a noob made figuring this out more difficult.  Please help!   Thank you in advance, Will     ...
