Whups...made a mistake. You don't need an ifconfig command. Just make sure that your default gateway in the vmware os is set to the address of your vmnet1 interface in linux.
Secondly, I would apply the remaining commands I mentioned before by hand to make sure things work. I put the commands as i wrote them in /etc/pcmcia/network since I'm using a pcmcia(wireless card). Not sure off the top of my head about the best place to do it for a regular card, and I'm not positive if the ipforward=yes does what you need(probably, just not sure). -Tupshin First of all, I would try applying all of these commands by hand and test to see that it works. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Titus Barik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tupshin Harper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2001 6:33 PM Subject: Re: vmware & ip masq > On Sat, 25 Aug 2001, Tupshin Harper wrote: > > > I'm doing exactly this: debian 2.4.x custom kernel + vmware + masquerading. > > > > Maker sure that the ipt_MASQUERADE module is loaded, and make sure the > > iptables debian package is installed. > > Done. > > > Then add an IP address to your ethernet card that is on the same subnet as > > your vmware machine: > > eg: ifconfig eth0 add 192.168.155.2 > > Where would I add this?
