Zoneminder on Centos 5.4 with Panasonic BL-C131A

[luvablemarmot]

My zoneminder set up started acting wierd today and I can't pin down the issue. While I have not changed anything on the zoneminder side I have upgraded the Panasonic firmware to Version 3.52R01.

I get the following error in my logs when attempting to do mo-cap

Been trying to figure it out all day. Re-started the VM, restarted the router, checked the network connection from the VM to the camera. Checked the camera's output. Everything has been normal.

Any ideas what is happening here?

Thanks.

That's saying that your camera is not responding at all, and or it can't be reached.
Causes:
Network problems, cat5 cable unplugged, no route to host, bad configuration like a wrong IP, camera power not plugged in, etc, etc.

Camera is reachable with no issues. I can login view the streaming images. I also can use another 3rd party camera solution to hook into the camera and use it to do mocap.

edit!

Actually you're on to something. I kinda think this might be a vmware issue since updating to fusion 3.0.2.

None of the other servers are dropping packets but the vmware server running on my mac is, see below:
